Hi,
I have one system on which if I have a .procmailrc, and I open mail, and
then quit out, the subject line
of my mail is lost. I've attached a session which illustrates the
difference.
I've noticed that the size of the mail changes by 2/11 when procmail
runs and the subject vanishes,
and 1/10 when there is no procmailrc. On my other systems where I don't
have this problem, it is always 1/10.
The difference in /var/spool/mail/guest (before and after quiting out of
mail) without procmail is:
00000000: 5374 6174 7573 3a20 4f0a Status: O.
with procmail it is:
00000000: 5374 6174 7573 3a20 4f0a 0a Status: O..
I am running the testing distribution on both working and non-working
system.
Any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
