[Savannah-hackers-public] Issue with email notification of Savannah bugs

Subject: [Savannah-hackers-public] Issue with email notification of Savannah bugs

There's a problem with the email notification code in Savannah.
Recently a bug was filed (http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?31614) in which
the verbatim tag was used to provide some code examples.  In the bug,
the example looks correct:

        $ echo 'a\ b:; echo $@' | make -f - "a b"
        echo a b
        a b

However, I have configured Savannah to forward bug notifications and in
the email I got the backslash was removed; I've noticed this in other
bugs as well and it's supremely annoying as it changes the entire
meaning of the issue to lose the backslashes; in the email I get:

        $ echo 'a b:; echo $@' | make -f - "a b"
        echo a b
        a b

Note the missing backslash which completely changes the example.

Is there somewhere to file a bug about this, and/or can it be fixed?

Cheers!
