OK. I'm reassiging to emacs, since the problem is more general than this one package. > I don't know how to test this feature (e.g. sending using smtp) without > spamming BTS. You can change the the "To: " field in the composition buffer before sending. I just changed my own address to test. > I should also add that I have this bug only with *reportbug* package and > not other packages, that I have previously tried. I haven't checked all the details, but apparently any time the bug script for a package (in /usr/share/bug//script) generates information this is included as an attachement. On the whole this is probably a good thing, most MUAs are much better at dealing with large attachments than with miles of inline text.

Dear David, The content of the variable *message-send-mail-function* as you have correctly guessed is *message-send-mail-with-mailclient*. I don't know how to test this feature (e.g. sending using smtp) without spamming BTS. I should also add that I have this bug only with *reportbug* package and not other packages, that I have previously tried.

What is your setting of the variable message-send-mail-function (you can check with C-h v)? If, as I suspect, it is message-send-mail-with-mailclient, then I think I understand the problem you are seeing. Basically that function only supports text/plain messages, while debian-bug sends it MIME. If possible, I'd suggest using a different value of message-send-mail-function (I think it's initialized from send-mail-function). d

Package: elpa-debian-el Version: 37.8 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, I'm unable to report a bug which is affecting the package *reportbug*. Steps to reproduce: 1. M-x debian-bug 2. Report a bug for a [P]ackage or [F]ile: P 3. package name: reportbug 4. Severity: normal 5. (Very) brief summary of problem: dummy bug but When I click on *Send Message*, a new window in Mozilla Thunderbird will be shown with the following content: --=-=-= Content-Type: text/plain Package: reportbug Version: 7.5.2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, -- Package-specific info: --=-=-= Content-Type: text/plain Content-Disposition: attachment Content-Description: Bug script output ** /home/salman/.reportbugrc: reportbug_version "7.5.2" mode novice ui text realname "Salman Mohammadi" email "sal...@smoha.org" --=-=-= Content-Type: text/plain *** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? * What was the outcome of this action? * What outcome did you expect instead? *** End of the template - remove these template lines *** which makes it unable to send the message, because of the header.
