So to summarize the three approaches (this is not a proposed wording; I'm just trying to clear things up for myself): By default, Thunderbird will send HTML mail, wrap outgoing mail to 72 characters for plain text mail, and transforms plain text mail to match the follow=flowed spec. To disable HTML mail, use Edit->Account Settings to uncheck the "Compose messages in HTML format" setting in the "Composition & Addressing" panel of the account to be used to send the patch. You've probably done this already --- many development lists do not like HTML mail for ordinary discussion, either. To disable wrapping and format=flowed, install the Toggle Word Wrap add-on that is available from https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/addon/toggle-word-wrap/ It adds a menu entry "Enable Word Wrap" that you can tick off. Now you can compose the message as you otherwise do (cut + paste, 'git format-patch' | 'git imap-send', etc), but you have to insert line breaks manually in any additional text that you type. That's it. If for some reason that add-on doesn't work (maybe you don't like add-ons?), use the Config Editor (under Edit->Preferences->Advanced) to set mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed => false to disable format=flowed and one of the following (?) mail.wrap_long_lines => false mailnews.wraplength => 0 to disable line wrapping. You might also find the External Editor add-on from http://globs.org/articles.php?lng=en&pg=8 useful. There is a script in contrib/thunderbird-patch-inline which can be used as an external editor to include patches with Thunderbird and populate the "To:", "Subject:", and "Cc:" fields. -- 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
