It just seemed very odd to block multi-part MIME that happened to contain a text/html part in addition to text/plain, given that (AFAIK) the vast majority of email clients in recent years produce such a thing. Anyhow, off-topic... your list policy is your business. > Back to the patch you wanted to submit: since this is an important bug > fix, I spent the time to clean it up.

I should have submitted this as a bug report rather than a patch, since the ownership is not legally clear. Didn't even occur to me for such a trivial fix. If you can just treat this as a bug report at this point and 'reimplement' it, that would probably be the simplest thing for everyone... I guess this may be tricky since there are limited ways to possibly implement this, but for the same reason it would be impossible IMO for me or anyone else to legally claim authorship of it (but IANAL). If this is going to cause this fix to be jammed in limbo for all eternity, then let me know and I'll see what I can do to get the proper authorization. -- Brett -- 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
