It gets complicated. Depending on the font size I use and the wordwrap setting |
25 |
in my mailer, the line may or may not split at that point. |
26 |
|

So I dug out his original mail to the list, viewed the source - it was |
28 |
unwrapped plaintext - and copy-pasted the line into somewhere I could view it |
29 |
with a hex editor. And it was a newline (0x10) |
30 |
|
31 |
So some translation must have happened somewhere. Perhaps the original |
32 |
character was a non-breaking space or a para break and my X buffer decided to |
33 |
render it as a newline before pasting. Odd indeed. |
34 |
|
35 |
The OP should simply edit his make.conf, remove whatever seperator he has |
36 |
there and make it a real space. |
