Bug#970526: "mutt" is forced to use "utf-8" and "base64".
Package: reportbug
Version: 7.7.0
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
If an octet (8bit) character (mu, µ) is used in the body of a report,
"reportbug" changes the default encoding for "mutt" to "utf-8" and then
"mutt" encodes the body with "base64".
The bug tracker does not accept such mails, as the header of the
report is missing (concealed in the encoded text).
