[Reportbug-maint] Bug#812220: reportbug: Bad Prompt Wording

[Stirling Westrup]

Package: reportbug
Version: 6.6.6
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I just lost a reportbug report on another issue, due to bad wording in a
reportbug prompt.

Due to a bad configuration, my report failed to send (reportbug couldn't find
my MTA) and
it gave me a prompt which said (paraphrasing)

Do you want to A) Retry or B) Do Something Else

and its button choices were

[yes] and [no]

This makes no sense, as it isn't clear what either buttom *means*

What's worse, when I clicked 'No' it just exited without comment and I seem to
have lost my
entire bug report.
