Hi, folks. Well, it looks like I went a little overboard on
one of the last security fixes to QuizTest. This caused the
emails sent to the instructor to have no line-endings so it
all got mooshed up (that's the technical term) into a big
mess.

I have released a fix for this (v3.0.27c) and you can download
the new package here:

Alternatively, if you want to patch yours yourself, it's
a very simple fix. In "sub send_mail," look for this bit:

# Basically, we're taking out any newlines or extraneous spaces
# plus any ", <>, commas, or single quotes as well before we
# attempt to send.
my ($hvar);
foreach $hvar (@headervars){
${$hvar} =~ s/\s+/ /sg;
${$hvar} =~ s/[\"<>,']//sg;
}

And right BEFORE that, put this line:

$CRLF = "\015\012"; # Make sure we have the correct line endings

Basically, I was swapping out newlines with "$CRLF" to
help on some systems with qmail, but I wasn't telling the
program what "$CRLF" was until after I had switched it
out. This resulted in all the line endings being replace with --
well -- with nothing, as some of you have noticed.

Big thanks to Kurt and Jack who alerted me to this bug!!!
Please keep those bug reports and suggestions coming!
Also, if this does not fix the problem for you, PLEASE let
me know.

Thanks!
