Package: mutt
Version: 1.7.0-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I set up mutt with some heavy macros but I ran into a very dangerous
behaviour: if I define
macro index <F2> '<postpone-message>'
and press <F2> in index, it doesn't call the postpone-message command
(of course, because it is not available in index), but it instead runs
the 18 commands associated with the 18 keys!
I ran into this problem in a macro that was expected to end up in
compose menu but didn’t, and so <postpone-message> wasn’t interpreted
as a command call but as a sequence of keys (I think I remember it was
calling <recall-message>, but with an empty postponed box, so it
stayed in index menu; before you ask, the idea was to shuffle messages
between postponed boxes).
Fortunately I don’t think I lost any message or anything else nasty.
Still I wondered whether this could deserve a higher severity (but I
guess few people use macros that extensively).
Clearly, I would have hoped the macro interpreter would have aborted
the macro when encountering a command not available.
On a related note, since I don’t think it deserves a bug all by itself
even if that’s probably only superficially related, I also noted that
if I call tmux in a shell escape in a macro, the rest of the macro is
not reliably interpreted.
For instance, with
macro index <F3> '<shell-escape>tmux split-window -h<enter><next-entry>'
and testing for some time, the <next-entry> is never executed. I think
that, unfortunately, in larger examples (with quite a long tail of
commands after the shell-escape), some of it was interpreted, as
unreliably as I mentionned for <postpone-message> above.
I attach a simple muttrc I used with a dummy mailbox with quite a few
messages, to check that it was indeed executing the 18 keys.
Best regards,
Samuel
