Subject: [PATCH] mailinfo: use strcmp() for string comparison

From: René Scharfe <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 01 Jun 2014 11:00:40 +0200

The array header is defined as:

	static const char *header[MAX_HDR_PARSED] = {
	     "From","Subject","Date",
	};

When looking for the index of a specfic string in that array, simply
use strcmp() instead of memcmp().  This avoids running over the end of
the string (e.g. with memcmp("Subject", "From", 7)) and gets rid of
magic string length constants.

This is a minimal fix.  A good question, however, would be: Why do we
keep on looking up constant strings in a (short) constant string array
anyway?
