Multiplying maximum width by MB_CUR_MAX is one way to determine a suitable buffer size though that doesn't allow for escape seqences for colours. Is it too ugly to have the function allocate the buffer and rely on the caller to free it? The same code change could also address the following request which is for -width 0 to be unlimited: http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?15274 Oliver _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
