I just stumbled upon this issue on a system that was upgraded from Lenny to Squeeze and where: mutt -a foo1 -a foo2 $EMAIL used to work just fine in a cronjob until now. It's a *very* annoying change. Especially since it's poorly documented (I can't find a word in /usr/share/doc/mutt/NEWS.gz nor in NEWS.Debian) and that this behaviour was changed inside 1.5.* versions instead of doing that inside a major version bump (like 1.5->1.6). regards, -mika-
