Re: [Nmh-workers] mhfixmsg on a pathological mail

Hi Håkon,

> Trying to run mhfixmsg on it just removes the entire body of the mail.

Can you give a command that fails?  It seems OK here.

    $ mhfixmsg -version
    mhfixmsg -- nmh-1.7-RC2 1.7-RC2-1-g42b75672 built 2017-08-18 06:44:22 +0000 
on orac
    $ scan -file 9707.2.email -format '%{message-id}'
    <address@hidden>
    $ mhfixmsg -file - -outfile - <9707.2.email >fixed
    $ echo $?
    0
    $ mhlist -file 9707.2.email

    $

If I do `mhfixmsg -file 9707.2.email' then it's re-written in place,
with ./fixed's content.
