Public bug reported:
The manual of mailcap(5) says that in the test field "The command may be
any UNIX command, using the same syntax and the same %-escapes as for
the viewing command"
So this mailcap entry should be fine:
text/plain; wc '%s'; test=grep -q somepattern %s
I would expect to whenever there's a plain text file that contains the
word somepattern, wc should be invoked by run-mailcap on it. Otherwise
this entry should not be considered by run-mailcap.
What actually happens is that the %s will be substituted for the view
field (wc '%s') but not for the test field and so this entry will be
never considered.
I've included a bash script with testcases to demonstrate the bug.
(Please keep in mind that after all the years I still do consider myself
a bash script novice)
I have no patch. I do not grok perl.
