Hi Bruno,

I missed that, thank you for explaining this to me.
Pavel's problem is that he has a mix of po files with values of `-w'.
Consequently, he want's to avoid any ``normalization'' because it would
bring unwanted changes. He seemed to suppose that msgfilter provides
this.
I experimented with msgfilter just now and discovered that it has
the same behaviour as msgcat: it reformats the strings according to the
-w option (or --no-wrap).
So it seems that even if msgformat supported changes in msgid's, as Pavel
wants, the problem would still be the same.
BTW: Pavel cannot use msgdiff, as the generated patch wouldn't apply to
his non-normalized po files.
So unless the translators agree on a common value of -w, there is no
good solution.
Thank you again for explaining this to us,
Stepan Kasal
