If we reset the discussion why do we maintain that reports have to be

You just did it again. This _forces_ technology dependence,
My reading was that the group appeared to converge on using regular posting
for submitting a report.
But perhaps the presence of rough consensus needs to be determined explicitly.
Would folks please respond to the list with their preference:
Reports should be submitted using a mechanisms that:
[1] Is the same as for submitting regular new mail, that is, normal
posting. (Determination of the address to send to is a separate
issue.)
[2] Is specific to the mechanism for retrieving the message for which a
report is being submitted. (The details of such mechanisms is a
separate issue.)
For completeness there's also
[3] Is the same for every mechanism for retrieving the message,
but not based on submitting email.
... for example, reporting via an HTTP post, or an SMTP extension,
or XMPP, or telepathy, regardless of whether the original message
was read via POP, IMAP, spool access, SMTP ETRN, SMS or an
XML-RPC call.
I think [1] is the right way to go, though.
Cheers,
Steve
