Re: filling "To" is still broken...

[Thomas Esser]

Hi,

I am again running the current cvs-version of mailutils and looking about
the latest fixes for "mail". While running some tests, I have noticed
a segfault, so I have restarted mail and done the same actions as befor
in gdb. Since the bug was reproducible, I can send you a stacktrace
(appended at the end of the message).

I sometimes delete the headers accidently. The typical szenario is
  r
  ~m
  ~v
and when removing the header of the mail I am replying to, I sometimes
delete my own header, too. Anyway, this is your decision and I can live
with it.

Thanks for all your fixes!

Thomas

PS: in the following session, I send two mails to myself and I get a crash
    when typing "h":
