Alright, the control-M problem I reported weeks ago is back.
The preliminary fix you supplied by replacing ^M with a single space
is invalid - the problem persists. The only correct solution is to
strip the control characters.
However, I have one more clue now what happens (and it's also the
reason why I thought the workaround was valid):
The default vacation template includes a Subject: line, just what you
get when running vacation directly. However, the ^M's are ignored by
vacation if there is no empty line between the Subject: line and the
body of the message. one that empty line appears, several message headers
(excluding Subject:) appear in the body of the vacation message.
Second issue with the new vacation: there seems to be no logout button.
In the old version, it was right next to the help button.
