One of my environment variables has a carriage return in it so that everything before it goes properly into the header, and everything after it goes into the body of the message. I'm not sure what the right solution is. Is there some kind of quoting convention that ssmtp understands? I'm attaching /etc/profile since it contains the offending definition of PS1 and it's hard to get right in the body of the message. This part ends up in the header: X-Cron-Env: <PS1=\[\033]0;\w\007 This ends up in the body of the message: \033[32m\]\u at \h \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\] $ > X-Cron-Env: <PWD=/usr/src/cron-3.0.1-7> X-Cron-Env: <SESSIONNAME=Console> [rest of environment variables snipped...] > > > USE_SIGCHLD is now left undefined in compat.h to get > > > rid of a syslog message about the mail command failing. > > > > Why?
