Thanks, but unfortunately I can't, at least not without some help: I
installed Bazaar with a stand-alone Windows installer, which is
probably the reason why I don't see msgeditor.py anywhere on my disk.

I could probably download Bazaar sources and patch msgeditor.py there,
but is there a way to tell bzr to use that msgeditor.py instead of
whatever binary form of it lives on my machine?
(library.zip:msgeditor.pyo, is that right?)

Thanks.
