Package: reportbug
Version: 6.6.0
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

  The header line "Subject" is changed into quoted printable when the
line is continued on the second line ('folded'), even if the text is
pure US-ASCII.

  This makes the copy of the mail less readable with a read-only
programm like "more" and "less".

 The original 'Subect' lines are:

Subject: Do not change the format of the subject line when
 it continues on the next line

which 'reportbug' changes to

Subject: =?iso-8859-1?q?Do_not_change_the_format_of_the_subject_line_when=0D=0A_it_co?=
 =?iso-8859-1?q?ntinues_on_the_next_line?=

N.B.

  'mutt' shows an unfolded 'Subject' line in the header when I submitted
this report.

Since I cannot reproduce this, I am assuming that is has been fixed at some point during the past six years. In any case the bug would have been in python's email module, which reportbug uses to construct the email. Reportbug does not deal with breaking long headers into multiple lines itself. Closing this bug now.
