[Reportbug-maint] Bug#489447: reportbug: Definitely a data loss bug

[Josh Triplett]

Package: reportbug
Version: 3.48
Followup-For: Bug #489447

I just lost 20 minutes of composing a bug report (complete with a
documentation snippet I wrote) because SMTP failed.  Yes, I can write it
again.  If my editor crashed and lost my code, I could write that code
again, too, but I'd consider that a data loss bug as well.  Under no
circumstances should reportbug delete a bug report until it
*successfully* sends it via SMTP or sendmail.  I consider this a grave
bug, though I will not change the severity again.
