Excellent - Thank you for the bug report.
I don't believe it will be hard to reproduce this problem, but a copy of the full log output of each reported issue would be appreciated.
As I understand it, you managed to generate this erroneous message from the CLI. Is this correct?
It would certainly help if Pat refused to post such messages to the outbox. It should also detect and ignore such messages (with a warning) if they ever appear in the outbox.
Regarding your reported issue no 2: Without seeing a full log output, it is hard to say for sure, but I suspect the error "Unable to save received message..." was sent by the CMS after it had received the block of messages containing the erroneous message. The link is typically disconnected after such errors, which is something Pat does not have control over. In the FBB protocol, message proposals and message transfers are sent in blocks of 5 between each link "turnover". Errors sent from the CMS immediately after** a session turnover are hard/impossible to automatically recover from, since they typically does not report which of the (potentially 5) messages caused the error.
I will look into all of these cases more closely, and hopefully include a fix in the next release.
Thanks for developing this on Linux. Yes, this was generated from the CLI.
Here's the various logs to help recreate this (sorry for not using attachments... copy/paste was easier). IZPZOEGS6Y7W.b2f.txt

Thank you 👍
If you (accidentally) send a message with no "to" or "cc" address, the following issue are encountered:
Workaround is to manually go to ~/.wl2k/outbox and rm the erroneous message. However, pat probably should handle this error case in a more user friendly manner. In particular, the inability to access the outbox programatically may be an issue.
