[Reportbug-maint] Bug#500346: Cannot cope with forwarded messages when locale is not UTF8

[Artur R. Czechowski]

Package: reportbug
Version: 3.45
Severity: minor

Hello,
My current locale setting is:
arturcz at szczaw:~$ locale
LANG=
LANGUAGE=en_PL:en_US:en_GB:en
LC_CTYPE=pl_PL
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=

When I tried to submit a bugreport to einstein package I got:

============
2 bug reports found:

Outstanding bugs -- Minor bugs; Unclassified (1 bug)
  1) #500343 [m||] [einstein] Provided hints are not sufficient to solve the pu

Forwarded bugs -- Wishlist items (1 bug)
  2) #398336 [w||â
============

The wave-arrow character used in new BTS design for forwarded messages makes
the mess.
Of course when I switch to UTF8 environment (using uxterm instead xterm)
everything is OK.

Best Regards
	Artur
