Hi!
I tried sending this email to Jon Steinhart, but his spam filter is doing
a fine work to stop all the messages I sent him today. :-(
Perhaps it is useful for other nmh developers on this mailing list too:
I am building the latest release candidate of nmh-1.1. From the output of
the compiler I see that there are *a lot* of uninitialized variables. Really
a lot of them! I will use this nmh release candidate on a machine were I am
not receiving important email (I prefer nmh-1.0.4 on production machines
until nmh-1.1 is released). I will provide some feedback if I see something
wrong.
Perhaps someone should fix these uninitialized variables before nmh-1.1 is
released. C is a bit tricky in this matter and the standard does not assign
a default value to these variables (even if some compilers do). A wrong but
valid value could provoke an unexpected behaviour in nmh.
Nice to see that nmh is alive!
Best regards,
Igor.
