Environment: OpenBSD 6.6 Details : OpenBSD 6.6-current
(GENERIC.MP) #427: Sat Nov 2 13:23:11 MDT 2019

Description:
Neomutt segmentation faults when command line email is sent.
How-To-Repeat:
echo "hi there" | neomutt -s hi root@localhost
OR
neomutt -s somesubject somebody@any.where < sometextfile
This happens with or without a subject, to any email address. It
also happens with or without a muttrc or neomuttrc file present.
It happens on several different current boxes with different
hardware, including one box with kern.version=OpenBSD 6.6-current
(GENERIC) #410: Tue Nov 5 17:00:09 MST 2019
dera...@amd64.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC,
and no packages other than neomutt dependencies.
Sending email with neomutt from the command line stopped working
for me around Oct 27. I use cwm and have tried from an xterm
with and without tmux.
Sending does with neomutt-20180716p1-gpgme-sasl on one box that
runs 6-6.current GENERIC.MP #389.
I've tried neomutt-20191102-gpgme-sasl and neomutt-20191102 on a
few current boxes, but it always seg faults.
I'm very sorry that I don't know where to start fixing it. I
will also build it from ports on another current box. I can
include a diff of neomutt -D 5 on a working vs nonworking
version if needed. I could run gdb on neomutt, but I'm not sure
how to run it on something like "neomutt some@company.domain
</tmp/abcdefg."
Looking at the source code like a monkey at a monolith, I see in
main.c that the address of bodytext is passed to
mutt_parse_mailto, but I don't understand where bodytext gets
the actual text of the body. It must be there, I just don't
understand. I mention it on the off chance that that might
help.
As a separate issue, I notice the N showing which mailboxes
have new mail seems to have disappeared. If I set the sidebar
as suggested in the neomutt guide with sidebar_format =
"%B%?F? [%F]?%* %?N?%N/?%S" it will show which boxes
have new mail, but the N next to the mailbox doesn't appear.
That happens with or without the sidebar visible. It used
to work in the previous version. Of courses, that's with a
.neomuttrc with mailboxes defined.
Even with these bugs, neomutt is still great and lets me escape
webmail and other slow email clients.
I would like to thank all the developers. OpenBSD is amazing.
I run my business using only OpenBSD machines -- routers,
access points, webservers, and yes all my desktop machines.
Thank you!
(I don't think this will be on the ports list, but I apologize
if that happens. I accidentally sent to ports before subscribing.)
