Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.6-20040803+1
Severity: normal

Hi, I just stumbled upon a funny bug in mutt's -s option: it does not
check if the subject string you pass in contains newlines. It just
copies the string verbatim after generating the "Subject:" header. You
can actually (ab)use this bug to attach an entire message body using
-s alone. For example, save the attached text file as 'randomtext' and
do this:

        mutt username -s"`cat randomtext`"

You'll see that because of the blank 2nd line in the file, the
Subject: header has bled into the message body. We've effectively
attached a message body using -s. (Note that this only works in bash,
tcsh misinterprets the quotes and just creates a huge mess.)

I would've considered this a feature, not a bug, were it not for the
fact that Mutt places a Reply-To: header at the bottom of the message
body, obviously firmly believing that it's still in the header
section. :-)

Recently, our IT department hired a bug-fix engineer. He used to work for
Volkswagen.
This is the supposed subject line

This is some random text to test if our version of Mutt still has the funny -s
overflow bug.

Apparently we can insert the body of an entire email using this "bug". Although
it DOES stick in a pathetic reply-to: header at the end 'cos it thinks it's
still in the header section... lol
