Dear Maintainer,

1. Run «querybts 860123».
2. Exit the pager.
3. Type 'e' for 'Launch e-mail client to read full log.'

This will launch the configured mbox reader on a file that has no newlines in
it.  (The file does not contain even a single 0D or 0A byte.)

This is because of the following bit of code:

(Pdb) list
1197    
1198B   def launch_mbox_reader(cmd, url, http_proxy, timeout):
1199        """Runs the command specified by cmd passing the mbox file
1200        downloaded from url as a parameter. If cmd is None or fails, then
1201        fallback to mail program."""
1202 ->     mbox = open_url(url, http_proxy, timeout)
1203        if mbox is None:
1204            return
1205        (fd, fname) = TempFile()
1206        try:
1207            for line in mbox.splitlines():
1208                fd.write(line)
1209            fd.close()
1210            if cmd is not None:
1211                try:
1212                    cmd = cmd % fname
1213                except TypeError:
1214                    cmd = "%s %s" % (cmd, fname)
1215                error = os.system(cmd)
1216                if not error:
1217                    return
1218            # fallback
(Pdb) 

The .splitlines() calls returns a list of strings that do *not* contain
newlines (\n characters), and the following .write() does not add its own \n's.

Cheers,

Daniel
