           Summary: Escape shell special characters when passing %{foo} to
                    command/pipe
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Mandriva RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: matt at nightrealms.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs

When a filter passes an email header to a command/pipe, it should escape the
shell special characters.  For example, if you do:

/usr/bin/foo "%{Subject}"

and the subject contains any double-quotes the the command won't act as you'd
expect (and will probably fail if there's an odd number of double-quotes).
