Re: Fwd: Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender

[TOMAS MARTIŠIUS <tomas@puga.vdu.lt>]

Thanks for solving this problem, bus I am not  expert of all these 
encodings too,
so I simply need working reportbug package and I really don't know in 
which point the problem is: in packege or in mailing system, which must 
accept bug report. But if both encodings can be used (as says some 
different RCS's) I prefer to fix mailing system, if it is possible, to 
accept both types of encodings. Especially because bug report can be 
send using some common mail system.

Best regards,

Pagarbiai,
