freebsd stable - Apr 2010 - Any chance of someone commiting the patch in bin/131861 ?

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/131861

I've been using the patch now for a couple of months with no
observable problems. It is very small, and does fix a real
annoyance with using /usr/bin/mail as your primary mail
reader. I realise this is probably a very small number of
people, but it wudlbe nice to get it committed if possible...

cheers,

-pete. [resolutely sticking to the command line even in 2010! :-)]

Sorry Pete, but the patch still seems incomplete. You merely catch the
case when a comma is followed by space or quotation marks, but the email
header might look like this:
To: foo@domain.com,bar@otherdomain.com

Regards,
Uli

You're not the only one :)

Not to discourage any improvements in the base, but have you
looked at ports/mail/heirloom-mailx (formerly known as Nail)?
It's a descendant of /usr/bin/mail, but much more featureful :)

I've been testing your patch for a few weeks now as my main email
client, and I havent encountered any problems - it also does fix
the reply issues I was originally having. Do you want to attach it
to the PR ? After that maybe someone could commit it - I am pretty
certain it doesnt actualy break any exising behaviour.

cheers,
