Package: reportbug
Version: 4.8
Severity: wishlist
It is good idea to prepare report on the system where the bug is found. But
if this system can not send mail in any way, there are no convenient ways
to send report from other host. If report was prepared with -p or -o
options then sending from other host using options -i or --body-file, cause
reportbug to ask all usual questions: package name, package version, if
package installed and mandatory subject. This is annoying and waste
behavior, because all these information already included in supplied
report. Please add new option to allow send report without any questions if
it was prepared with -p or -i option on other host.
