24.3.50; bad formatting in recent NEWS? |

The longest is this one (87 chars):
machine smtp.whatever.foo port 25 key "~/.my_smtp_tls.key" cert
"~/.my_smtp_tls.cert"
There are also entries whose first line (a sentence) does not end in a
period. And there are entries whose first line is not a sentence, and
is continued over subsequent lines.
All of these seem to contradict past NEWS formatting, but I don't know
where the rules for formatting NEWS are defined, so I cannot tell
whether they are strictly wrong or just unusual. The last one certainly
works against the use of Outline mode to some extent.

It should be incredibly obvious why this line is an OK exception.
As for any other lines, they will be cleaned up when it comes time to
edit the NEWS file in preparation for the 24.4 pretest. No point filing
a bug about this kind of thing. Closing.
