Question about the format of FriendlyToLineFormat

Hello!

I use the FriendlyToLine and got the information that
users of pine had problem with the format,
I was surprised about the colon and
the semicolon at the end of the string.

Set($FriendlyToLineFormat, “”%s of $RT::rtname Ticket #%s":;");

why does the FriendlyToLineFormat end with these both
chars? Can i omit them?

regards!

That format is a pseudolist. It’s an RFC-822 compliant list label
without ever having an address associated with it.
Getting the quoting right to make pine happy with it ca be somewhat
poor.On Sep 18, 2006, at 1:09 PM, Sven Sternberger wrote:
