What did you do?

go install gitlab.com/clseibold/misfinmail/v2@4eb9fba57e4d26d79e0ef6460b2e85084269087b

What did you expect to see?

It should install the damn program, using the well-defined replace directive in the go mod file. It makes absolutely no sense to assume that replace directives are for developer debug runs only.

What did you see instead?

A limitation that is the result of terrible golang developers that keep making terrible decisions, even though everyone told them how terrible it was in this very issue: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/44840
