Signed-off-by: David Kastrup <dak@xxxxxxx> --- I had previously already sent this patch. It is somewhat more robust than your version against off-by-one cut&paste errors. But it never actually got applied. Perhaps using search on the subject line of it will give you some more background on the somewhat inconclusive response to the proposal. If I remember correctly, git-am-patch takes exactly the other polarity than the old git-send-email with regard to adding angle brackets about message ids from the command line, so defusing that command as well would probably be appreciated by some. git-send-email.perl | 3 ++- 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/git-send-email.perl b/git-send-email.perl index 69559b2..877f74c 100755 --- a/git-send-email.perl +++ b/git-send-email.perl @@ -309,7 +309,8 @@ if ($thread && !defined $initial_reply_to && $prompting) { } while (!defined $_); $initial_reply_to = $_; - $initial_reply_to =~ s/(^\s+|\s+$)//g; + $initial_reply_to =~ s/^\s+<?/</; + $initial_reply_to =~ s/>?\s+$/>/; } if (!$smtp_server) { -- 1.5.3.rc2.187.g9a1d2-dirty - 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
