1999

metamail (2.7-33) unstable; urgency=low

   * Orphaning metamail.

 -- Herbert Xu <herbert@debian.org>  Sat, 20 Nov 1999 20:33:36 -0600

metamail (2.7-32) unstable; urgency=low

   * Fixed postinst script where it didn't add mailcap entries for an initial
     install.
   * Don't warn about wild cards in mailcap (fixes #30910).
   * Use $() instead of `` for command substitution (fixes #33487).
     Note that metamail does %{} substitutions with the correct quoting.
     Indeed, it filters out characters like ` so there is no problem even if
     this fix were not there.  But other applications that currently do not do
     the required quoting should do so.
     Also, all packages that add entries to mailcap should check their entries
     and replace all `` with % substitutions inside with $() so as to avoid
     the obscure shell rule that `` is terminated by a un-backslashed back-
     quote.  Indeed, if this back-quote occurs within single or double quotes,
     the result is undefined.
