[net.mail] Sendmail: comments and folded lines

hokey@plus5.UUCP (Hokey) (04/23/85)

Sendmail calls fgetfolded() to read in a possibly folded line.  When reading
rulesets, if the first character of this folded line is a #, the line is
ignored as a comment.  This means that the following example is erroneous:

	Muucp,	P=/usr/bin/uux,
	#Muucp,	P=/usr/bin/uubang,
		F=sDFMhu, S=10, R=20, (etc.)

in that fgetfolded() terminates after the first line, instead of ignoring
the comment line and getting the rest of the "folded" line.

Is this a bug or a feature?  In case it is both, does anybody besides me
believe that fgetfolded should ignore the comment, and get the "rest" of
the line?
