I've noticed this, too. Glad that you tracked it down,
thanks :-)
I don't see any problem with your fix. It behaves properly
for me and valgrind is happy with it.
How about 512 instead of 192? The only downside would be
higher memory usage, but I don't expect that's an issue
here.

Messages with very long envelope "From" lines break scan(1). This
behavior happens with nmh 1.3 and 1.2.
These messages are typically from mailing lists (Yahoo groups, in
particular ). The "Subject" field in the scan listing is displayed
as just an asterisk (*) .
When I run scan, I get errors like:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
scan: field name "From SRS0=+Q5m=2Z=returns.groups.yahoo.com=sentto-xxxxxxxx

The warning comes from sbr/m_getfld.c, which uses the value of
NAMESZ (set to 128 in h/mh.h).
I've increased NAMESZ to 192, which fixes scan(1), and nothing seems
to have blown up...but I'd appreciate some guidance on whether this
is the correct solution and if there are unforeseen side-effects.
Thanks,
Mark
