Subject: BUG: PC-Pine v4.33 and quoting

Hello,

there is a bug in PC-Pine v4.33 (and earlier ones) with quoting arguments
when invoking external programs.

PC-Pine quotes arguments containing unix-shell meta characters with a
single quote. In Windows a) most of those characters do not have any shell
meta function (so to quote them is unnecessary) and b) no single quotes,
but double quotes must be used.

It's annoying repeatedly when following a hyperlink, because many of them
contain a '?' or '&' or something like that.

Bye,

I think this behavior is a feature, try editing your pinerc file and
adding "enable-mailcap-param-substitution" under feature-list. Hopefully
that will solve your problem.
