Package: nmh
Version: 1.0.4+dev-20010317-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/mh/pick

pick(1) says

    Pattern matching is performed on a per-line basis.  Within the
    header of the message, each component is treated as one long line,
    but in the body, each line is separate. Lower-case letters in the
    search pattern will match either lower or upper case in the message,
    while upper case will match only upper case.

yet I can't match the split line in a long subject.

    $ scan -format '%{subject}\n'  
    foo bar
    $ scan -format '%{subject}\n' | od -c
    0000000   f   o   o       b   a   r  \n
    0000010
    $ grep -1 '^Subject' `mhpath 1`
    To: [email protected]
    Subject: foo
     bar
    $ pick -sub foo  
    1
    $ pick -sub bar
    1
    $ pick -sub 'foo bar'
    pick: no messages match specification
    $ pick -sub 'foo.bar'
    pick: no messages match specification
    $ pick -sub 'foo^Mbar'
    pick: no messages match specification
    $ pick -sub 'foo
    bar'
    pick: no messages match specification
    $ pick -sub 'foo
     bar'
    pick: no messages match specification

I can find `foo' or `bar' so the subject is being treated as one long
line, as the man page says, but what are the lines being joined with?
The search clearly works across both lines since these two both work.

    $ pick -sub 'f.*o'
    1
    $ pick -sub 'f.*r'
    1

I'd expect it to be a space unless the man page says otherwise.
