>Description:
The qpage port will run words together in long pages. The problem
is in msgcpy in util.c, where the breaks don't preserve word
boundries.
>How-To-Repeat:
qpage -p USER -f USER "this is a test of a message where two words will have the white space between them removed"
results in this page being delivered:
USER: this is a test of a message where two words will have the whitespace between them removed
(Notice that "white space" became "whitespace", and no I didn't plan my test
case that carefully. :))
>Fix:
Add this patch file to the port. I've also submitted it to the
author of qpage.
