Dear Maintainer,
The man page says "REPORTBUGEMAIL, DEBEMAIL, EMAIL
Email address to use as your from address (in this order). If no environment variable exists, the default is taken
from your user name and /etc/mailname." but EMAIL does
not work:
% env |grep MAIL
EMAIL=stephane@bortzmeyer.org
% reportbug whois
*** Welcome to reportbug. Use ? for help at prompts. ***

Using 'Stephane Bortzmeyer <stephane@sources.org>' as your from address.
--email on the command-line does work.

here below is the reason:
> ** /home/stephane/.reportbugrc:
> reportbug_version "7.6.0"
> mode standard
> ui text
> email "stephane@sources.org"
your reportbug configuration file contains the address
stephane@sources.org, which reportbug diligently uses. If you want to
have use a different email address, either remove that config line or
update it.
Working as intended, closing.
