[Reportbug-maint] Bug#614260: reportbug: Should have a mode that just dumps the bug report

[Samuel Thibault]

Package: reportbug
Version: 4.12.6
Severity: normal

Hello,

In various situations (production server, experimental system, ...)
not MTA or MUA is available on the machine where the bug happens.  One
should still run reportbug on that machine to get useful information
and configuration information.  One should be able to tell reportbug to
simply dump the resulting bug report template to a file or stdout, and
then copy/paste into one's own MUA, whichever it is and wherever it is.

 Yep. Moi j'ai un clavier à une touche. 
 Par contre, ma souris a 102 boutons, c'est pas toujours pratique.
