[Reportbug-maint] Bug#566989: reportbug: Please stop removing “Source” from pseudoheaders.

[Cyril Brulebois]

Package: reportbug
Version: 4.10.1
Severity: important

Hi,

while waiting for #560230 to be fixed, I tried to do as proposed by Kurt
or Lucas, that is, “reportbug $source” and then s/Package/Source/ in the
pseudoheaders. Unfortunately, that leads to a broken message (without
Package/Source line) sent to the BTS, which in turn ignores the message
entirely.

One can notice that “Source: $source” appears in the headers, though;
but no longer in pseudoheaders.

Example of such outgoing mail:

I guess this answer could mention the possibility of using “Source”,
too, but that's another story.
