            Bug ID: 343745
           Summary: Crash with an invalid external editor involving
                    unterminated quotes
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.14.3
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: composer
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: kenneth at whitecape.org

In Settings > Composer > External Editor, set your editor some command with a
closing single quote:

     foo'

Then, every time the composer opens, KMail will crash.  In my case, KMail
decided it wanted to re-open the composer on startup, so it would crash
immediately on startup - I had to edit the configuration file to get it back.

(If you're wondering how I came across this, I was trying to change my editor
from: 'konsole --nofork -e vim "+set ft=mail" -f %f' to gvim --nofork "+set
ft=mail" -f %f  ....and forgot to remove the closing ' mark).

Reproducible: Always
