Package: reportbug
Version: 6.4.4
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
Since the usual reports via SMTP will be send through untrusted networks, one
should enable TLS by default.
I would suggest the default answer during the first config
"Do you want to encrypt the SMTP connection with TLS (only available if the
SMTP host
supports it)? [y|N|q|?]?"
Should be "Y" instead of "N" and other flags like
--tls
should be deprecated and replaced with "--no-tls" as alternative.
Best,
Axel

While every SMTP server supports SMTP (of course..) not everyone out
there supports TLS, and no-one knows better than the user configuring
reportbug; if they don't know, then choose the safest bet, don't use
TLS (hence the default).
Also, what's so "private" in a mail that (at the end of the trip) will
reach a public web site where the mail body+headers are available?
I don't see anything to fix here, hence closing as wontfix.
Regards,
