Subject: Change the logic in mutt_open_read to only catch directories -- mutt
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=748c3a3e210eb71685fd825be5b755a360a14d19;p=neomutt

Change the logic in mutt_open_read to only catch directories -- mutt
may legitimately read devices (think /dev/null) or named pipes. Also
delegate error reporting to the calling function by setting errno.
