So Joe Non-Programmer comes along and changes the first one to:

message = '''\
From: %(origin)s
To: %(dest)s
Subject: triple quotes in Python

Why does Python have this "'''"
string thing?
''' % vars()
os.popen("/usr/lib/sendmail -oi -t", 'w').write(message)

Moral: don't let a non-programmer modify your program code! (Even more 
important, don't let a malicious programmer /masquerading/ as a 
non-programmer modify your program code :-)

But heck, I use the things, so clearly I can live with 'em. But emacs 
can't parse 'em!
