--- Begin Message ---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. :-) T -- 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
