Joe editor with slrn

Hello list...

I've the following in `.slrnrc':

set editor_command "jmacs +%d '%s'"

expecting to be taken to the end of the quoted text when doing a
"followup". I'm doing something wrong because it's not working.

However, if I use the Joe CL arg +nnn, substituting a large integer
for "nnn" - like +500 - it takes me to a line immediately past my
sig.

set editor_command "jmacs '+500' '%s'"

I can live with that, but I'm curious as to how to get the `slrn' +%d
argument working.

Anybody using Joe and slrn together?

That took me to the first line of the body.  I'm using joe 3.5 (or 
thereabouts).  This behavior matches the manual

http://slrn.sourceforge.net/docs/slrn-manual-6.html#ss6.20

I don't see any language in that section of the manual describing a way 
to be taken to the end of the quoted material, as the only applicable 
percent escape always holds the "number of the first line of the message 
body".

Perhaps an S-Lang macro for slrn would suit your needs better?

No! It was not. A solution was offered using a Joe CL argument (+nnn),
which does work. However I want to know specifically about the "+%d"!
Can you offer some insight on _that_?

BTW, are you "Whiskers" or "chuckcar", or neither?

Your expectation is wrong. As stated in the docs, %d represents the
_first_ line of the message body. e.g in my message at the line starting
with "Duke".
If you use +%d as an argument for joe I'm quite confident that joe will
place the cursor as documented.

The correct answer (with Joe) appears to be:

+%d  => top of quoted message
+%d1 => bottom of quoted message

Coincidence.

Imagine the first line of the body is line number 9 

-> %d  == 9
   %d1 == 91

So your %d1 will set the cursor to line 91, if it is here, or else to
the last line.

You're _almost_ there! ;) The point is that _any_ integer appended to
`%d' seems to send it to the last line. Try %d2; %d3; %d10. The
plus-sign suffix seems to be redundant. Whatever! It's working for
me. Whether that is the intended behavior, only his-self, John Davies
can say for sure.

The plus sign is not redundant; the plus sign is needed to tell joe what 
line to start editing on.  You'll edit a different file without the plus 
sign.

I suggest taking any further discussion on this point to a joe mailing 
list because what program calls joe isn't the issue here, only joe's 
behavior is relevant.
