[Reportbug-maint] Bug#733885: reportbug: Encrypt SMTP connection with TLS as default

[Axel Huebl]

Package: reportbug
Version: 6.4.4
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Since the usual reports via SMTP will be send through untrusted networks, one
should enable TLS by default.

I would suggest the default answer during the first config
  "Do you want to encrypt the SMTP connection with TLS (only available if the
SMTP host
   supports it)? [y|N|q|?]?"
Should be "Y" instead of "N" and other flags like
  --tls
should be deprecated and replaced with "--no-tls" as alternative.

Best,
Axel
