Subject: [PATCH 3/5] view: dedupe_subject: allow "0" is a valid Subject
Date: Sat,  4 Apr 2020 08:03:17 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200404080319.3293-4-e@yhbt.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200404080319.3293-1-e@yhbt.net>

While rare in practice (even by spammers), A single "0" could
theoretically be the entire contents of a Subject line.  So
use the Perl 5.10+ defined-or operator to improve correctness
of subject deduplication.
