Bug#1106816: allow commands to be broken over multiple lines with a \

[Richard Lewis <richard.lewis.debian@googlemail.com>]

Package: debbugs
Version: 2.6.2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

could you make the bts support a \ as a continuation character so
commands can be split over lines?

some software wrap long lines at spaces, which makes it impossible to
use commands like "subject" or "forwarded" with long arguments

eg from gmail it is not possible to mark a bug in a native package as
'forwarded' to a salsa MR, as gmail will break the line before the url
(debian's default exim config also rejects emails with very long
lines, this is recommended in some RFC)


eg

subject NNNNN \
this is a very long subject that is broken over lines for\
 readability


thanks
