Hi All

I just got this from the maintainer of elm.

I will build RH 7.3 rpm's as next step.


Cheers Johnny

Ok, it's a real easy fix (here's the Red Hat fix):

--- elm2.5.6_/utils/from.c.bfrovf	2004-01-08 11:28:44.000000000 +0100
+++ elm2.5.6_/utils/from.c	2004-01-08 11:30:55.000000000 +0100

  	      if (subject[0] == '\0') {
  	        remove_header_keyword(buffer);
-		strcpy(subject, buffer);
+		strncpy(subject, buffer, sizeof(subject)-1);
+		subject[sizeof(subject)-1] = '\0';
  	      }
  	    }
  	    else if (fast_header_cmp(buffer,"From", (char *)NULL))


I'll probably release an elm 2.5.7 sometime in the near future that
will include this fix.
