Package: mailfilter Version: 0.8.1-2 Severity: normal
Greetings, I found that mailfilter does not like files ending not with a blank line. While this might be understandable (this is often the case with parsed files), I think it might be useful to state that in the manual page (mailfilterex.5, example). But the observations first: In $HOME/.mailfilterrc file, I INCLUDE = "$HOME/.mailfilterdenyrc" which contains the following: DENY = "^From:.*spam...@any_spam_organisation.com" <no blank line at the end> Now, when I run mailfilter, it complains that there is an error below the line where I included the .mailfilterdenyrc file. If I add a blank line at the bottom of the included file, mailfilter runs happily. It took me a while to discover that (though I should have known that parsed files often display that behaviour)... and I thought that maybe a simple statement in the man page would be helpful to newbie users and not so newbie users. I could prepare a patch if this proposal is well received. Great program anyway !
