From: nv017001@sneakemail.com
Subject: mutt-1.5.1i: strange behavior when email address contains 0xA0 's
To: submit@bugs.guug.de
Personality: fake
Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.1i
Severity: normal
-- Please type your report below this line
I recently had problems with mutt reading a news article (saved
to a file). It turned out that the poster uses an email address
\xA0@\xA0.\xA0 and mutt seems to ignore the mailbox delimiter line
From \xA0@\xA0.\xA0 ...
Is this a bug?
I have appended a zipped and uuencoded copy of a mailbox that
can be used to reproduce the error.

Hi, When I download and gunzip the archives of the psyche-list
https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/psyche-list/
mutt 1.4i on Redhat 7.0/7.3/8.0 does not show any messages, the 'mail'
command on redhat 7.0/7.3/8.0 is able to read the mailboxes. Anybody
else seeing similar behaviour and can explain why this is so

-- Please type your report below this line
(This is also seen with 1.5.4).
Mutt fails to properly read mbox-format files with From lines like:
From dtucker at zip.com.au Thu Jan 1 11:19:33 2004
This sort of mbox-file can be found, e.g., at
http://www.mindrot.org/pipermail/openssh-unix-dev/2004-January.txt
With debugging, mutt spews:
is_from(): parsing: dtucker at zip.com.au Thu Jan 1 11:19:33 2004
is_from(): got return path: dtucker
is_from(): expected weekday, got: at zip.com.au Thu Jan 1 11:19:33 2004
mutt then shows a mailbox with none or one or two messages,
instead of the correct number.
I'm not sure what the best way to make the parser more flexible is.
In http://www.imc.org/ietf-smtp/old-archive/msg02087.html,
jgm notes:
| Mark Crispin's c-client has code to parse at least 20 different
| variants of this format--10 different possible date formats, each with
| or without a " remote from XXX" after it.
So maybe that code should be hunted down and copied/emulated?
is_from()'s parser looks relatively fragile.
I'm loathe to try to craft a patch that's specific to this one type,
and I don't know what a good authoritative reference is. If you'd
find it useful for me to do so, please let me know and I shall.
