R: snmptrapd snmptt carriage return line feed inside trap text string

[Diego C. <Die...@de...>]

Hello Niels,
I was expecting an Ouptut Option able to remove embedded newlines.
There are a lot of Output Options that handle traps text, for example the -OE "Modifies index strings to escape the quote characters" or -OU "Do not print the UNITS suffix at the end of the value", etc.
Why cannot exist an Output Option that remove embedded newlines inside text string?

But I just resolved with SNMPTT, looking in the SNMPTT ticket repository I found that this problem was already solved on 2010-05-22 "#5 Fix multi-line traps from NET-SNMP 5.4" 
(see http://sourceforge.net/p/snmptt/patches/5/ ) 
The patch is available for download and is present in snmptt_1.4beta2
So I'm going to uninstall snmptt_1.3 replacing with snmptt_1.4beta2
Thanks
Diego

What would you expect snmptrapd should do about strings with embedded newlines?
