I have looked at this before, and tilde escaping from /bin/mail shouldn't work on most modern systems simply because the /bin/mail's I have looked at dont accept tilde escapes unless the the input is coming from a terminal, or /bin/mail is invoked with -I. Regardless, jj is a great example of how to write insecure code. So, is there any /bin/mail that will accept tilde escapes if the input isn't coming from a terminal?
