| Summary | 0001109: Internal *bang* variable does not affect ~<! command escape | ||||
| Description | ..but only ! command and !~ command escape. This is true for Illumos-gate /usr/src/cmd/mailx, Apple mailx (10.10, 2015-10-13), NetBSD Mail. Also for my clone. OpenBSD Mail does not have this command escape at all. Note that Apple Mail (and also illumos, but i may misremember) do not even update the storage unless *bang* is set, i.e., no expansion would happen for the first command after setting *bang*. (Unless something is still lingering.) | ||||
| Desired Action | On line 97791, change The default shall be nobang, disabling the expansion of '!' in the command argument to the ˜! command and the ˜<!command escape. to The default shall be nobang, disabling the expansion of '!' in the command argument to the ! command and the ˜! command escape. | ||||

There are more problems with the description of the bang variable than are reported here. Change: Enable the special-case treatment of <exclamation-mark> characters ('!') in escape command lines; see the escape command and [xref to Command Escapes in mailx]. The default shall be nobang, disabling the expansion of '!' in the command argument to the ˜! command and the ˜<!command escape.to: Enable the special-case treatment of <exclamation-mark> characters ('!') in ! commands and ~!command escapes; see the Invoke Shell Command command and [xref to Command Escapes in mailx]. The default shall be nobang, disabling the expansion of '!' in the command argument to the ! command and the ˜!command escape. |
