[Reportbug-maint] Bug#679907: reportbug: Attachments silently dropped when not using internal MUA

[Stefano Rivera]

Package: reportbug
Version: 6.4
Severity: normal

I thought this was documented somewhere, but can't see it now...

When using an mua mode (such as mutt), attachments specified with
--attach silently vanish.
