The old style printed a variable-length ---- line, depending on whether title was in the mix...

but your new version prints a fixed-width ---- line as if title were always present. Not necessarily a show-stopper, but worth thinking about.
BTW, I find that the %-ns format is not easy to parse from scripts. It would be easier with raw variable values and a dedicated separator like a tabulation. Human and scripts expectations are so... different! :-) -- Nicolas Sebrecht
