[Mimedefang] head->get('Subject') adds "#012"

[Michael Fox]

I'm using the following to retrieve the message subject header:



$subj = $entity->head->get('Subject');



First is there a better way?



Second, what I get back always has "#012" added to the end. For example, if
the actual subject is "foo", then the above get() method returns "foo#012".
Why is this extra "#012" appearing? And, is there a way to get just the
subject?



Thanks,

Michael

In your mimedefang-filter script? Yes. $Subject. See the 'GLOBAL
VARIABLES SET BY MIMEDEFANG.PL' section of the mimedefang-filter man
page.

'perldoc MIME::Head'

The 'get' method always returns a string terminated with a newline
(octal 012)

Yes, use the $Subject variable that Mimedefang gives you!

That is the actual subject-- it ends with a linefeed character, #012.
Use chomp() to remove it.
