Maybe you know what is wrong here.
-----
The test
-----
I'm testing hypermail as follows:
1. Convert a mailbox with some messages as follows:
hypermail -d dirname -m /path/to/mailbox
2. I then try to add a new message as follows:
hypermail -d dirname -u -m message
-----
The problem
-----
One of the messages in the mailbox has the following msgid (showing how
it is stored in hypermail):
<!-- id="000e01bfd579$76981260$956bfac1@c6y7d4" -->
It corresponds to the original value.
When doing 2), I get the following warning message:
Message-ID is missing, ignoring message with subject ....
------
I traced this bug to the following code on parse.c:2836
else if (!strcasecmp(command, "id")) {
char *raw_msgid = getvalue(line);
msgid = unspamify(raw_msgid);
if (raw_msgid) free(raw_msgid);
if (msgid && (!isalnum(*msgid) || !strchr(msgid,'.')
|| !strstr(line,"-->")) && set_linkquotes)
msgid = NULL;/* old version of Hypermail wrote junk? */ }
Any idea why we're using the isalnum function there? I converted
this archive from zero with the same version of hypermail that's
complaining about this test against an old version of hypermail.
I don't have enough context to fix this problem. The msgid value
looks correct to me.
