Bug#800527: devscripts: bts fails to retrieve bug reports as a mailbox

[Uwe Storbeck]

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.15.8~bpo8+1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

retrieving a bug report as a mailbox fails with the following
error message:

  bts show --mbox 787157
  /home/uwe/.cache/devscripts/bts/787157.mbox is not a mailbox.

The file indeed is not a mailbox and contains almost no data
(file attached below).

I've also tried to call bts with the --noconf and --force-refresh
options, but the result is still the same.

Retrieving the bug report in a browser with

  bts show 787157

works as expected.

Regards

Uwe
