Using the --paranoid option shows the text of the bug report before transmission. In my case, the body is usually base64 encoded, which means only the headers are readible to a human. There may be some debugging or academic merit to showing the base64, but this is not generally what the user is interested in. This can be improved in a couple ways: 1) After the headers, instead of showing multiple screens full of base64, just print 1 line like: «115 lines of base64-encoded text» and follow that with: [decoded body] … … «OR» 2) show just the decoded msg, but give an extra option in the prompt to show the verbatim raw msg for those who are interested. -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (990, 'stable-updates'), (990, 'stable-security'), (990, 'testing'), (990, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-16-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages reportbug depends on: ii apt 2.2.4 ii python3 3.9.2-3 ii python3-reportbug 7.10.3+deb11u1 ii sensible-utils 0.0.14 reportbug recommends no packages.
