Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.22-2
Severity: normal
Hello!
I had my email aliases file in this format:
alias js [email protected] (Joe Shmoe)
alias of [email protected] (Other Friend)
And that worked very recently (I think in 1.5.22-1 but I haven't
verified that.) By worked, I mean I:
1. Have mutt open
2. press "m" to start a new message
3. type "js" at the "To:" prompt, then hit Enter
4. enter a subject, press enter
result: To: line in vim shows: Joe Shmoe <[email protected]>
With vim 1.5.22-2, it instead shows: [email protected] (Joe Shmoe)
As a work around, I've converted my aliases file to use the other
syntax:
alias js Joe Shmoe <[email protected]>
alias of Other Friend <[email protected]>
And now I get the working result described above again.
I consider this a bug because:
1. This used to work (and I think without a upstream version
update.)
2. ``man muttrc`` says that both of these are excepted formats.
Here's an excerpt from ``man muttrc``:
alias [-group name [...]] key address [, address [ ... ]]
[...]The address may be specified in either format, or in
the format “[email protected] (User Name)”.
There's gramatical and formatting-consistency issues in that
paragraph of the man page, but it seems quite clear that the
following is valid syntax:
alias js [email protected] (Joe Shmoe)
I'm not married to that old syntax (I don't even like it) but I
think support should not be dropped by a debian patch, and when/if
it is dropped, the man page needs to be updated.
Thank you so much for your time, and so sorry that I'm too lazy to
downgrade to 1.5.22-1 to test if that version's borked too. If you
can't replicate this, let me know and I'll downgrade and
investigate further.
Thank you, -- Jason
