[BUG?] Repeated string escape = error

Using any string escape more than once in a *editor_command variable
within the '.slrnrc' file always leads to an "Invalid Editor definition"
error message. Example:

	set post_editor_command "echo ciao >>'%s' && vi +%d '%s'"

Or also:

	set post_editor_command ""
	set editor_command "echo %d && sleep 5 && vi +%d '%s'"

ISTR older slrns giving me grief about this issue too, so it's probably
an old bug (provided that it's not intended behaviour, which would
surprise me).

Regards,
DN

how to mail instead of post a followup

One of the mailing list groups I'm reading on gmane.org doesn't allow
posts via gmane. So, posts and follow-ups need to be e-mailed.  I ran
into this many years ago, and vaguely remember adding some sort of
article hook that check the group and did something to cause a posting
to be mailed to the appropriate address instead of posted.  (Modify
the followup-to: header line?).  But, I can't find any trace of my
previous solution, and google hasn't turned up anything either.

Does anybody else remember how I solved this problem?  :)

For the editor commands, slrn allows only one %s and one %d.  You can
work-around this restriction via a variable, e.g.,

   set post_editor_command "X='%s'; echo ciao >> $X && vi +%d $X"

OK, thanks for the reply. But I'm left wondering what the rationale for
this design choice is. Frankly, I fail to see any advantage in single-use
escapes.
