Sadly, reportbug GTK frontend appears not to work with
reportbug.debian.org. I've just tried it on a machine that has not had
reportbug installed before (because it has no MTA) and the GTK frontend
refuses to send using reportbug.debian.org when configured as novice.

SMTP send failure: (550, 'No valid sender found in the From:, Sender:
and Reply-to: headers'). Do you want to retry (or else save the report
and exit)??

Sending to reportbug.debian.org via the command line interface works.
Bug report for reportbug gtk-ui on it's way via the command line
interface....
