fmt does not allow prefix strings starting with tab characters. I know that tabs are special in that they are expanded on input, but it doesn't look like that's the reason why this is broken because prefix strings may contain tabs, provided the prefix string doesn't start with one.
Steps to reproduce: $ fmt --prefix=TAB <<EOF TABfoo TABbar EOF The correct output should be TABfoo bar but fmt returns foo bar -- Haakon _______________________________________________ Bug-textutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-textutils
