[bug-mailutils] [PATCH] fix segfault, extend field selection

[Tino Schwarze]

Hi there,
 
I looked into mailutils since I needed some command line utilities to
check mailboxes. (We actually want to check whether mails arrive where
they are expected to arrive.)
 
While I took a closer look at frm, I came across a bug - whenever I
specified "-s", it segfaulted. I'm no argp_parse expert and didn't
bother to look at the docs, but judging from what gdb displayed, optarg
was being used instead of arg and optarg was NULL. So I fixed that.
 
Later, I wanted frm to display all the fields I needed, not just one, so
I extended the -f syntax. It now supports the specification of multiple
fields, separated by comma, semicolon or spaces. Alternatively, the
option may be given multiple times.

Now I just need a way to mark a message read, so I don't need to compare
it again - does readmsg do this?

Bye, Tino.

PS: I used mailutils 0.6, so I may be not totally up to date...
