Subject: why does git-send-email unwrap headers?
Date: Wed, 2 Jun 2021 11:34:41 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210602153441.cjmey63x2vudlnk6@nitro.local> (raw)
Hello:
I've noticed that when a message is sent with git-send-email, it will unwrap
all existing headers into a single line, such that:
Some-header: This is a long header that happens to be longer than 78
characters and is therefore wrapped at whitespace chars to properly span
across multiple lines
becomes:
Some-header: This is a long header that happens to be longer than 78 characters and is therefore wrapped at whitespace chars to properly span across multiple lines
While it's not *wrong* (the 78-character limit is from a very old RFC), I'm
curious if this is intentional or just an oversight.
