Using bash fixed also a problem using elm. > Running elm + /bin/sh (ash) caused mails with 0 byte message body. > Substituting /bin/sh with bash as /bin/sh fixed the elm problem. Why not just fix the bug in the GNATS-3.00 send-pr script? BTW, the script was still broken in 3.01, and wouldn't run on any UNIX SysVr3.2 /bin/sh, or on any /bin/ksh that I can imagine. (Actually, if ash was so good as to report unbalanced quotes, it did far better than ksh or sh!) Oh, and if you want the patch for send-pr, I suppose I could e-mail it to anyone -- I would post it, but it's not on this machine. I did send it to the bugs address. -- Greg A.
