severity 468279 normal thanks The Web interface of certain e-mail servers allows for constructing only HTML messages. An end user can't draft a text message via the Web interface but has to fire up an e-mail client, which is sometimes difficult (e.g., in case of boot issues, it might require getting a Debian-Live USB thumb drive or another machine first and setting up an e-mail client). An example of such an e-mail server is Rambler.
As a result of submitting a bug report from a Web interface, single line breaks in the report get replaced by spaces, and multiple consecutive line breaks get combined into one line break. My examples: http://bugs.debian.org/985150#73 and http://bugs.debian.org/1035893 . Though you can take a look at the original HTML, it's not immediately visible. Any way out? How to get empty lines (ideally, without trying to insert invisible stuff) into HTML bug reports? (Not sure whether Rambler can be blamed, too. Moreover, though they may be asked, I'm not sure what specifically to ask for, and I'd probably be the wrong person to ask.) Increasing the severity as the issue affects more than one person—for many years now.
