Figures, just after I gigged one of my programmers for using
/usr/ucb/Mail for just this very reason, I got bit by it.
Then approving a bounced message, approve has to quote all lines that
being with ~ in the message to be approved. Or it shouldn't use
/usr/ucb/Mail (/usr/bin/mailx) and should send the message via
sendmail directly. The offending line is:
open(MAIL, "|/usr/ucb/mail -s \"\" $post_to") || die("open(\"|mail ...\"): $!");
at line 196. Looks at a fast grep like approve is the only problem
program. I think the following patch should work. I took the quoting
solution. Anybody care to try it out?

The security implications of this should be obvious.
