Its good for "macro stacking" if you want to keep the "code" tidier and
easier to understand. This code %- tells TB to continue with the output
right at this point, despite the presence of a linefeed.

For example, if you want to add a header in your messages, your reply
template could look like this:

.-----
| %SetHeader("X-Binford","More Power!")%-
| Hello dear %OFROMNAME,
`-----

This way, your message will start with "Hello dear..." on the *first* line,
because %- prevents the linefeed to be inserted, and you'll have a less
cryptic template layout. To get the same result without %- you'd write

.-----
| %SetHeader("X-Binford","More Power!")Hello dear %OFROMNAME,
`-----

...which is maybe not as readable as the two-line version (this is a rather
simple example, you can think of more complex setups, of course).
