Earlier today, I embarrassed myself by trying to construct a patch that git-send-email would send, and I missed out the putting >From garbage line on the front, which led it to send the patches with a Subject: From: Matthew Wilcox <matthew@xxxxxx> line. Bad. This patch makes git-send-email detect an mbox-style file more readily, and correctly handles the patches I constructed. --- git-core-willy/git-send-email.perl 2006-07-24 23:45:08.000000000 -0400 +++ git-core-1.4.1.1/git-send-email.perl 2006-10-06 16:02:37.000000000 -0400 @@ -451,6 +451,7 @@ if (!$header_done) { $found_mbox = 1, next if (/^From /); chomp; + $found_mbox = 1 if (/^(From|Date|Cc|Subject):/); if ($found_mbox) { if (/^Subject:\s+(.*)$/) { - 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
