Details:
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.
