Comment (by phw):

 Roger suggested to abandon the concept of transport `TYPE`s for now
 because we only offer obfs4 anyway. I addressed his suggestion in commit
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/bridgedb.git/commit/?h=develop&id=208b49cd91ec64aaff623dfeef08d352beab6785
 208b49c] and deployed the fix. BridgeDB's email response now looks as
 follows:

 {{{
 [This is an automated email.]

 Here are your bridges:

   obfs4 ...
   obfs4 ...

 Add these bridges to your Tor Browser by opening your browser
 preferences, clicking on "Tor", and then adding them to the "Provide a
 bridge" field.

 If these bridges are not what you need, reply to this email with one of
 the following commands in the message body:

   get bridges            (Request unobfuscated Tor bridges.)
   get ipv6               (Request IPv6 bridges.)
   get transport obfs4    (Request obfs4 obfuscated bridges.)
   get key                (Get a copy of BridgeDB's public GnuPG key.)
 }}}
