(triaging old savannah tickets)

Hello,

This issue was delegated to FSF admins.

With no further comments since 2014, I'm closing this ticket.

Hi Earl - thanks very much.  I've told the FSF syadmins, who are the ones who have to install the patch.

Best,
Karl

It has come to my attention that the software, MHonArc, behind the
generation of the mail archives (which I maintain) contains a mail
parsing bug that will cause perl to abort execution.  This bug will
cause any updates to a mail web archive to stop.

For example, the nmh-workers archive has not been updated
since Apr 19th:
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/nmh-workers/2014-04/index.html

The bug for the software is tracked here:
https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?42155

The bug has been fixed and a new release of the software, MHonArc, has
been made:
<http://www.mhonarc.org/release/MHonArc/tar/>

The fix was done to the file readmail.pl, so if the admins of savannah
can either do a full upgrade of mhonarc, or they can just drop in
readmail.pl into their current installation.
