My proposal was "when it encounters _either_ a From: _or_ a Subject: pseudo header" which would work for all examples. But I fully agree with you that some rules are needed. Whether to do the same on Date: is less obvious, but I doubt that would ever be seen without at least one of the others (and the rules could specify that). > > http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/30/224 > Broken link ?

My proposal would be more generic exactly because it defines the pseudo headers as a natural separator between introduction and the part of the mail git-am should act on. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
