There's a problem with the email notification code in Savannah. Recently a bug was filed (http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?31614) in which the verbatim tag was used to provide some code examples. In the bug, the example looks correct:
$ echo 'a\ b:; echo $@' | make -f - "a b" echo a b a b However, I have configured Savannah to forward bug notifications and in the email I got the backslash was removed; I've noticed this in other bugs as well and it's supremely annoying as it changes the entire meaning of the issue to lose the backslashes; in the email I get: $ echo 'a b:; echo $@' | make -f - "a b" echo a b a b Note the missing backslash which completely changes the example. Is there somewhere to file a bug about this, and/or can it be fixed? Cheers!
