# HG changeset patch # User David Champion <[email protected]> # Date 1472604902 25200 # Tue Aug 30 17:55:02 2016 -0700 # Node ID d0273005656c26a0339146b22e7cd9acf52faa0a # Parent ed54319fbefaeba45479402175830f5d06ec93b0 allow initial blank lines in local mailboxes Some mailbox-creation tools erroneously append a blank line to a file before appending a UNIXv7-format mail message, resulting in mailboxes that are intended to me valid "mbox" folders but are not. Notably old versions of Mailman do this, making archive files that cannot be read by mutt. This patch causes mutt to skip leading NLs and CRs when detecting magic. diff --git a/mx.c b/mx.c --- a/mx.c +++ b/mx.c @@ -415,6 +415,11 @@ else if ((f = fopen (path, "r")) != NULL) { struct utimbuf times; + int ch = 0; + + while ((ch = fgetc(f)) && (ch == '\n' || ch == '\r')); + if (!feof(f) && ch) + ungetc(ch, f); fgets (tmp, sizeof (tmp), f); if (mutt_strncmp ("From ", tmp, 5) == 0)
