[Reportbug-maint] Bug#590242: now without the email variable in ~/.bashrc

[Neil Williams]

Package: reportbug
Version: 4.12.4em1
Severity: normal

Reconfigured from a terminal started afresh after commenting out the setting of
the EMAIL environment variable and then reconfiguring reportbug to simulate
where the user hadn't set such a variable at all.

This time, configuring reportbug didn't find the email address to use, so it
invented a local one which I replaced and which then appeared in the
reportbugrc.

So this bug is actually that reportbugrc fails to get the environment variable
using the desktop file (because that was set in ~/.bashrc) which it would use
when loaded from the command line. Not really a fault in reportbug (as long as
this one sends OK).

I don't know whether reportbug would be able to source the ~/.bashrc even when
using the GTK2 frontend which would avoid this potential problem, particularly
as other command line programs will re-use the same variable.
