foo="bin1
bin2
bin3"

$file=/some/path/to/bugreport_without_package_line.txt
tmpfile=$(mktemp)

for package in $foo ; do
        ( echo "package: $package" ;
          cat $file ) > $tmpfile
        do mutt -s "RM: remove $package" -i tmpfile $package
        sleep 15m
done
rm $tmpfile

with 40 packages this is just a 10h running script ;)
