I meant caller, as I looked at code more caller cannot modify it so
static allocation is ok. Also found second occurence of same problem.

This 'no_str' and the one you introduced above are different.  You need
to drop the &'s here.  Did you build and test with warnings enabled?  A
fairly recent GCC complains about the different pointer types.

Yes, I run test in parallel with writing mail and here I fixed that in
test but forgot to modify mail.
