Could this sentiment probably get reconsidered?
I filed this bug more than 12 years ago, and just today I got bitten by this again when I sent a mail to the Debian BTS containing a "forwarded" control command. I have sent this from a Windows PC using the roundcube webmail client, which apparently also insists to add line breaks to keep a certain line length in text-only mails. So, this time I had no chance to use the "bts" command lne tool, and I find it anachronistic to refer people to use such tools in times when e-mails are sent via webmailers or mobile phones.
Thanks,
