In nmh-1.0.3, the %a escape in an mhshow-show profile entry can yield
trailing garbage characters.
For example, consider this nmh-1.x profile entry:
mhshow-show-application/octet-stream: %posdec %a '%F'
In nmh-0.27 and prior, the %a escape would have yielded a substitution
like so:
name=name-of-file
...where name-of-file was the value of the "name" parameter, stripped
of quotes.
In nmh-1.0.3, the %a escape appears to yield a substitution that
includes the quote characters and some trailing garbage, e.g.:
name="name-of-file"t/M
The addition of quote characters seems like a good idea since some
file names might contain spaces and other meta-characters. However,
the trailing garbage seems like a bug.
(In case you're wondering about the above profile entry, "osdec" is a
Perl script that I wrote to hunt around for an appropriate handler
after applying various tools to figure out what the true MIME type
might be. I've modified it to work around the above-described
problem. How many times do you suppose that wheel has been
re-invented?)
