hi

I was looking at why sympa.pl dies with "Out of memory!" error when someone
is trying to use urlize mode on a certain type of multipart messages.
It turnes out to be a bug in parser.pl, which is using "sprinf $_" to append
data to an array if it's passed, e.g.:

        if (ref($current_output) eq 'ARRAY') {
                    push @{$current_output}, sprintf $_;

While this works for some cases, it doesn't work with URLs which contain
html-escaped chars (e.g. you get %<char>), which sprintf treats as a part of 
format
string producing all kind of errors.

Franky, I don't undestand why sprintf has been used there at all since if 
you're
passing a file (not an array) to parse_tpl, a plain "print" is used, meaning 
you're
not really using the format string or expand anything using sprintf.
I've simply dropped sprintf evewhere (3 places in parser.pl) replacing it
with
push @{$current_output},$_;
and everything is working fine now.

thanks
