What were you trying to do?

incorporate my mail and then view it.

What's wrong:

i get segmentation violation.  I can't cut&paste that since it scrolled
off too far off the screen, but this is a bug as well:

      [mint-chocolate-chip.pts/1] ~

      Segmentation fault


      [mint-chocolate-chip.pts/1] ~

      Segmentation fault


      [mint-chocolate-chip.pts/1] ~

      [ the message does get shown ]


My default showproc for MHL is mhl.

I think the reason why this broke is the Date: field in the message:

	Date: 10/30/91

MH might have trouble parsing this into something it understands...

What should have happened:

scan and show should not have given segmentation violation.  a user
friendly message would be nicer.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
