OK, I see what you're talking about. It isn't part of the C99 standard
and I haven't seen it in other code before.
I am very hesitant to include your patch in the main vpopmail
distribution though. I tried to make a very simple, reliable function
for creating SQL queries, and I think the %2$s notation adds
unnecessary complexity.
Can you let me know the exact place in the code you needed to use it?
Could we re-work the queries in some way to allow for a single order
that works for both variations without a special format string?

Tom,
You can find more info about this on the printf man page (3). Shortly
- you can reuse some of the variables passed or reorder them. %2$s
means the second string variable.

I'm not familiar with using %2$s in a printf -- what does it mean?
Can
you not accomplish the same thing with another style?
