Update: the Control line has been moved from the pseudo-headers to the
real headers of the mail. It seems to work (ie it is processed by the bts)
but it is more difficult to see it in the confirmation message and
in the bug report (I had to look into the 'mbox' link in the bts).
  It is probably reportbug that moves to the headers all lines it does not
know. "Control: ..." lines should be whilelisted.

Another 'problem' (that probably concern more the bts implementation than
reportbug) is that I ask to subscribe with the vdanjean.ml at free.fr address
and I got a confirmation message with:
- a warning
- a subscribing confirmation email set to the From submit address of the
  bug report.
