Package: rss2email
Severity: normal
When you get a title like this:
<title><a href="http://example.net/";>link</a></title>
r2e generates invalid email because it uses html2text, which first
results in
"""link [1]
[1] http://example.net/""";
which is then copied into the subject verbatim leading to
--begin snip email--
Subject: link [1]
[1] http://example.net/
From: ...
...
body text
--end snip email--
which obviously is invalid.
I fixed it by replacing all \n in the subject with ' ' after doing
html2text, but a much better solution would be to just ignore the <a> tag
completely. I didn't find an easy way to tell html2text exactly that.

Hello
I've taken over rss2email maintainership, this is a mass answer to old
bugs to see if they apply to the latest version in sid (1:3.11-1).
Some of this bugs were reported when rss2email used python2, I hope
some of them are fixed just by using newer libraries and/or python
interpreter.
Therefore I ask you $reporter to verify if the bug still applies against
the latest version in sid, and if it does reopen the bug.
thanks!
