[Reportbug-maint] Bug#507851: reportbug: please allow replying to an item in a thread easier

[Tim Connors]

Package: reportbug
Version: 3.47
Severity: normal

When looking at an email in a thread, and I want to reply to that
particular email (rather than the thread in general), I find I have to
press "b" to invoke the browser, manually find the mbox file, manually
save it, manually open it in the mailer, find the particular reply I
was just looking at that you want to reply to, and reply to it.

The other choice that looks promising at the querybts prompt is "x -
Provide extra information".  For me "x" just exits - was that meant to
do something?
