Package: reportbug Version: 4.4 Severity: important I just upgraded from lenny to squeeze and was disappointed to find that reportbug no longer supports custom MUAs. reportbug doesn't support my preferred MUA (evolution) so I use a custom MUA script to dump reportbug mails into my evolution drafts folder, where I edit them and send them on using evolution and its SMTP settings (which vary by mail address).

Using mutt as my MUA and making it dump postponed messages into evolution's drafts folder is slightly more cumbersome than just dumping them there via a script. It would also be nice if you could grab all the MUA stuff from reportbug-ng so I can just use evolution to report bugs in Debian, the custom MUA support is also important to keep though IMO. -- Package-specific info: ** Environment settings: EDITOR="nano" REPORTBUGEMAIL="p...@debian.org" DEBEMAIL="p...@debian.org" EMAIL="p...@debian.org" DEBFULLNAME="Paul Wise" DEBNAME="Paul Wise" NAME="Paul Wise" INTERFACE="text" ** /home/pabs/.reportbugrc: mode standard ui text realname "Paul Wise" email "p...@debian.org" no-cc -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (700, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable'), (550, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages reportbug depends on: ii apt 0.7.21 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii python 2.5.4-2 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-reportbug 4.4 Python modules for interacting wit Versions of packages reportbug suggests: pn debconf-utils <none> (no description available) pn debsums <none> (no description available) pn dlocate <none> (no description available) ii exim4 4.69-11 metapackage to ease Exim MTA (v4) ii exim4-daemon-light [mail-tran 4.69-11 lightweight Exim MTA (v4) daemon ii file 5.03-1 Determines file type using "magic" ii gnupg 1.4.9-4 GNU privacy guard - a free PGP rep ii python-gnome2-extras 2.25.3-1 Extra Python bindings for the GNOM ii python-gtk2 2.14.1-2 Python bindings for the GTK+ widge ii python-urwid 0.9.8.4-1 curses-based UI/widget library for ii python-vte 1:0.20.1-1 Python bindings for the VTE widget -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
