[Reportbug-maint] Bug#640249: reportbug ignores e-mail settings

[Marc-Jano Knopp]

Package: reportbug
Version: 6.2
Severity: normal

In version 6.2 of reportbug, the e-mail setting is ignored (both
environment variable "DEBEMAIL" and program option "--email"). When I
try to report a bug, it claims it would send it to the specified
address, but instead, I get this bounce mail:

{ $LOCALSERVER = the FQDN (not valid on the Internet) of my server at home
  $LOCALMAIL = my local e-mail address (not valid on the Internet) in my LAN }

Downgrading to reportbug 6.1 and python-reportbug 6.1 makes reportbug
honor the e-mail settings again, as it always did.
