Actually, something like: "%-20(putstrf{from})" does what you wanted.
In the next patch that goes out, I've modified %(trim) to be able to
right justify as well.

Also, I'm working on an "ELSIF" construct to go along with the
IF-ELSE-ENDIF "%< ... %| ... %>" stuff in mh-format.  It'll probably
be either "%|<" or "%?".
