Perhaps the words could be changed to something like: If you do want to use the imap-send option with Gmail you MUST use an IMAP client that does not line wrap to do any final polishing of the patch e-mails prior to submitting them to the list. If you use the gmail web interface to edit the draft messages in any way, line wrapping WILL occur. jon. -- 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
