[Reportbug-maint] Bug#809758: reportbug: Adding an attachment with it adds an extra line at the top so the mail is rejected

[Bjarni Ingi Gislason]

Package: reportbug
Version: 6.6.3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

  "reportbug" puts this in front of my report when it is used to
incorporate attachment:

This is a multi-part MIME message sent by reportbug.


--===============0054729797023488166==
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Disposition: inline

Package: docbook-xsl
Version: 1.78.1+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

   * What was the outcome of this action?

  "debbugs at buxtehude.debian.org" complains with:

This is a multi-part message in MIME format...

------------=_1451841662-30675-0
Content-Disposition: inline
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

Your message didn't have a Package: line at the very first line of the
mail body (part of the pseudo-header), or didn't have a Package: line
at all. Unfortunatly, this means that your message has been ignored
completely.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

  If I include the attachment with my mailer ("mutt") the body starts with:

--EVF5PPMfhYS0aIcm
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Disposition: inline

Package: docbook-xsl
Version: 1.78.1+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

  And that is accepted.
