[Mailman-i18n] Reposted: Another combined variable

[Tokio Kikuchi]

Hi,

I try to answer your your questions in three messages at once.

I think you have to have your own installation of mailman to check how 
these strings are formatted in HTML.  You know that HTML rendering in 
browsers treat consecutive spaces or tabs as a single space.  Also, 
there are languages which have no space character (at least in 
pre-computer era) like Japanese or Chinese.  Python substitution form of 
'%(varname)s' doesn't need preceding or following space.  If you put a 
space in the variable 'varname', then you don't have to put a space 
before or after the '%(varname)s notation.  In some language like 
Japanese, you don't have to put any space in 'varname' or before/after 
'%(varname)s'.  In conclusion, if it looks OK in your language with your 
browser, then it's OK.
