Hi,

Arch Linux, s-nail 14.8.6-2, xfce4-terminal or xterm.  Running `mail
$USER' in the terminal, entering a subject when prompted, and then
pasting a dozen lines or so results in just the first of those getting
into the body of the email.  The method of pasting doesn't affect the
outcome.

An strace(1) shows read(2)s of one byte consuming the first line,
including the LF.  ioctl(2)s and signal handling are then done.  The
next read of stdin sees Ctrl-D, the terminal's EOF character, and no
more reads are attempted.

Cheers, Ralph.
