Sorry for being so late. Can I ask you to get this fix to upstream? I'm rather busy these days to do it myself. If you aren't going to do so, please reopen this bug. Thanks a lot. - ferdy |
Mutt crashes when sending mail in batch mode, if sendmail fails. This is because curses is automatically disabled if standard input is not a tty, but yet, mutt attempts to use the internal pager to display the sendmail output. This results in a segfault. The easiest solution is to add, at line #79 of main.c, the following two lines: if (option(OPTNOCURSES)) Pager="cat"; This tells mutt, if curses is not in use, to simply use cat to dump the output. It is an easy fix, and it works.
