I am debian maintainer of dvtm, but I am not convinced yet that removing signal(SIGPIPE, SIG_IGN) would do more good then evil. Link to something like 'signal(SIGPIPE, SIG_IGN) considered harmful'? So far, it looks to me that you are artificially pushing your opinion on what other programs should or should not do. No offense. Sure, I was able to find workarounds, but like when things just work, don't we? -- X-Web-Site: https://sinsekvu.github.io | Note that I process my email in batch, Accept-Languages: eo,ru,en | at most once every 24 hours.
