What I want is close to "%s%b" except that "%s" will be the first paragraph wrapped into a single line. Looking at the code I see that there is no way to get that, but it's really easy to add it. Does it make sense to do so? I have a change that adds a "%B" that does just that, and it seems that it works fine. (But I don't know what's the procedure for sending patches.) -- ((lambda (x) (x x)) (lambda (x) (x x))) Eli Barzilay: http://barzilay.org/ Maze is Life! ``` ## Ilari Liusvaara, 2010-03-23 08:54 Subject: Re: Feature Request: raw body in format strings Message-ID: <20100323085407.GA29220@LK-Perkele-V2.elisa-laajakaista.fi> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20100323085407.GA29220%40LK-Perkele-V2.elisa-laajakaista.fi In-Reply-To: ``` On Mon, Mar 22, 2010 at 11:28:44PM -0400, Eli Barzilay wrote: > > Looking at the code I see that there is no way to get that, but it's > really easy to add it.
