When I received this in MailMate I _saw_ the same text line as above
in the message view, but when I _copied_ the line to the clipboard and
subsequently pasted it into a text editor I got only:
**curl "http://localhost:8080/solr/winfried/update?commit=true"; -H
"Content-Type: text/xml" -d_ 'store:”top”’**
I’d say this is a severe little bug, or do I do something wrong?
I actually see this kind of thing often enough that I haven't bothered
to try to narrow down the circumstances in which it occurs. It might be
unique to MailMate, or it could be a more general system thing. There
are usually three ways to copy an item: from a contextual (ctrl-click or
right-click) menu, via keyboard shortcut, and via the command on the
Edit menu. Some copy the visible text and some copy the code underneath
the text. So I'd experiment with another way of invoking the copy
command.
Alternatively, if you view the raw message before you copy (cmd-opt-U),
you can see any hidden code and be sure to select only the text you
actually want to copy. In your case, I would expect the full curl
command to be put on the clipboard when you copy it from raw message
view, but try it and see.
Of course, these suggestions are avenues of investigation that might
lead to a convenient workaround, and don't fix the programmatic behavior
you'd like to see changed. But I suspect there's some kind of logic
behind what you're seeing, and because the behavior is (presumably)
internally consistent , and because it can be easily worked around by
changing a habit, I wouldn't call it a "severe little bug," nor do I
think you did anything wrong.
