title: B --> rhopi decays, resonant and nonresonant contributions.
abstract: We point out that a new contribution to B decays to three pions is relevant in explaining recent data from the CLEO and BABAR Collaborations, in particular, the results on quasi-two-body decays via a rho meson. We also discuss the relevance of these contributions to the measurement of CP violations.
