This snippet was written by Isaac Clerencia, IIRC.

#!/bin/sh

suf=$RANDOM
reportbug -p "$@" > /tmp/reportbug.$suf
if [ -s /tmp/reportbug.$suf ]
then
subject=$(grep ^Subject\: /tmp/reportbug.$suf | cut -d\: -f 2-)
sed -n '8~1p' /tmp/reportbug.$suf > /tmp/reportkmail.$suf
kmail -s "$subject" --msg /tmp/reportkmail.$suf submit RemoveThis @bugs.debian.org
fi
rm -f /tmp/reportkmail.$suf

I threw out Exim about a year ago and setup esmtp which is quite small,
easy to configure (five or six lines a couple of which are optional),
works with Procmail, and works with Mutt and reportbug. Exim is
overkill when esmtp works just fine for me.

esmtp would _not_ solve the problem. This is not about bashing exim, it is the
general problem of having to store the SMTP/Auth-Password when using an
automated program like this.

I'd really love to have a program, that does not try to deliver itself but
uses a user-configurable maildir directory to simply store the data. In this
case, I could simply use the outgoing-mail or draft directory of kmail and
then send it with kmail.
