Package: reportbug
Version: 6.6.6
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation? I configured report bug to use my email
saying that it required TLS, gave it the email but I was not asked for a port
or a password and when I tried to submit the report, it did not ask me  for a
password and it timed out.
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?  I found $HOME/.reportbugsrc and commented out everything
except the three lines that were recommended.  That gave me a message that the
headers were incorrect, so I read the /etc/reportbugs.conf and went back to
using my email address and added the port and password and that worked.
   * What was the outcome of this action? It is working now.
   * What outcome did you expect instead? Unless it is less difficult to make
it work, many users will not be able to report a bug as rerunning with
-configure does not fix the problem.  I actually had to edit the .reportbugsrc
directly.  I have an earthlink email address, which is pretty common, so I
think a lot of users may be unable to report.
