The message quoted in the bug report came from trying to use reportbug in the GTK:ui interface to actually file this very bug report (because I wanted to demonstrate to myself that it was indeed not a fluke but that the command line can post and the gtk cannot) and I then switched to the command line interface and filed the bug.
i.e. I set up reportbug as novice, using the GTK frontend and on a system without any MTA installed and where I had not previously installed reportbug. I tried to then post a comment on an existing bug report (for buildd.emdebian.org) using the GTK frontend and got the message. Changed to text, re-entered the comment and filed the extra info using reportbug.debian.org SMTP via the command line without problems. Hmmm. OK, maybe something else changed, so try again with a different bug report. Same result. OK, finally try submitting a new bug via GTK - no go. Change to command line and here we are. Each time I tried the GTK frontend, I started reportbug from the menu, not from the command line. I too expected the command line and gtk interfaces to be equivalent when sending email via reportbug.debian.org but that isn't how it happened. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ http://e-mail.is-not-s.ms/
