I want to create a makefile variable that is a multi-line string (e.g. the body of an email release announcement). something like

ANNOUNCE_BODY="
Version $(VERSION) of $(PACKAGE_NAME) has been released

It can be downloaded from $(DOWNLOAD_URL)

etc, etc"

But I can't seem to find a way to do this. Is it possible?
