Dear List,

I use Claws Mail with great satisfaction. Thank you!

I am the author of free software FET (Free Timetabling Software, I can
give the link if it is allowed). I use an idea from your software in my
program, to execute an external program after finishing timetable
generation. I use Qt, so it is a bit different from GTK, but the idea
is that I get the first nonempty string and execute it with the
arguments that follow, using QProcess::startDetached(...).

I just saw in your ChangeLog:

* Shielded template's |program{} and |attach_program{} so that the
  command-line that is executed does not allow sequencing such as
  with && || ;, preventing possible execution of nasty, or at least
  unexpected, commands

In my program I let the user select the external command to be
executed. Could you please tell me if I should worry about the above
and change anything in my code?

Thank you!
