I'm in a similar situation. I want to attach larger amounts of data to a
bug report. Doing that in the mail body makes the bug report almost
unreadable. So I would very much welcome also if reportbug offered the
ability to add information to bug reports as attachments via a
bug-script.

Thanks for considering,
Michael
