Package: reportbug-ng
Version: 1.22
Severity: important

I filed 3 bug reports using reportbug-ng this morning. This is the fourth. These 3 reports bounced with the following explanation:

Your message didn't have a Package: line at the very first line of the
mail body (part of the pseudo-header), or didn't have a Package: line
at all. Unfortunatly, this means that your message has been ignored
completely.

Without this information we are unable to categorise or otherwise deal
with your problem report. Please_resubmit_  your report to
submit@bugs.debian.org  and tell us which package the
report is for. For help, check out
http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting.



The rejection mail also attaches the original, problematic mail. There I can clearly see a space before "Package:". However, when reporting bugs, I can't see that space in Icedove. It may be a character other than a space. When I get the bounce, I just take the mail sent, use "Edit as new...", remove the space, send, and the bug is filed correctly.

I've paid extra attention in this report not to insert a space unwillingly (since the cursor is originally positioned before the "P") and I made sure I do not see a space at the start, but I don't expect this one to be accepted at this first attempt.
Edit: It wasn't, indeed.
