+Subject: [PATCH] Fix CSV injection issue if server responds with a malicious
+ Server string & CSV output is opened in Excel or other spreadsheet app.
+ Potentially malicious cell start characters are now prefaced with a ' mark.
+ Thanks to Adam (@bytesoverbombs) for letting me know!
+
+Also fixed a crash in the outdated plugin if the $sepr field ends up being something that triggers a panic in split().
