Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.11-1
Severity: critical
This is awful.
For years I have performed multiple opens of mbox files, using multiple
mutt processes.
For years it worked.
Now it doesn't.
Now, if you do this, message bodies will be nuked out of the folder and the
Content-Length: header rewritten to zero.
The latter appears to be a subtly different issue; the header was rewritten
for some but not all messages, and the ones with the nuked bodies were a
*subset* of the ones whose Content-Length: headers were written.
This is very, very, very, very bad behavior, and I would be deeply furious
about it if I hadn't been able to use e2undel on the remote host where my
mail spools to recover the ~150MB deleted spool file from a live filesystem
and extract the obliterated message bodies from it. I was miraculously
lucky. Anybody who spools mail locally, doesn't have root on the host
where their mail spools, or who uses ext3 would have been badly screwed.
Mutt should either go back to not destroying mailbox contents on multiple
opens, should implement a locking mechanism to prevent other copies of
itself from opening a given folder for writing at the same time, or
(easiest to implement but least useful), refuse to open a mailbox that
another Mutt process has open.

Description:
mutt - Text-based mailreader supporting MIME, GPG, PGP and threading
Closes: 330474
Changes:
mutt (1.5.11-2) unstable; urgency=low (but fixes critical bug not in testing)
.
* The fix for coping with mboxes bigger than 2 GB introduced a bug affecting
at least powerpc (but not i386) which made mutt write Content-Length: 0 in
mboxes due to a un-updated %ld format specifier. This caused for mail to
be lost in the next mbox write.
.
Apply a patch quickly provided by upstream (thanks, Brendan Cully!) that
makes mutt use the right format specifier. (Closes: #330474)
.
* Update the compressed folders to the 1.5.11, which includes documentation
in XML format.
