In theory, not so bad ... but actually kind of complicated. First off, technically \n isn't printf() formatting. Okay, fine. I am a little unclear on how you envision this working ... are you suggesting that the argument to printf() would be a printf format and it would operate on str? Or something else? Also, you can put \n in mh-format files right now and the right thing happens ... but I'm not sure what takes care of that. --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list Nmh-workers@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
