Hey
Did we ever sort it out how we should deal with localized strings? IMHO, it
is a good thing to be able to generate pages using different languages, but I
think we should keep the diagnostics and general hypermail strings in
english.
On the related subject of doing correctly output strings, we might need fully
supported %N$s-style print formats to modify in which order arguments are
used. The file src/mprintf.c was added by me for printf() portability reasons
a long time ago (including snprintf). Now, there has been a few bugs
discovered in that file since it was imported to hypermail, and there's even
a separate sub-project now that works on the portable printf() issue: Trio.
http://www.contactor.se/~dast/trio/
I suggest that we incorporate Trio instead, and remove the src/mprintf.c.
(Note: I am co-authoring the Trio package and I wrote a fair part of the
src/mprintf.c implementation too.)
