The incorrect line wrapping with an exclamation mark is exactly at 990
column. Is there any limitation of the line size for text/plain messages?
Replying to myself again:
RFC2822 (Internet Message Format) states:
2.1.1. Line Length Limits
There are two limits that this standard places on the number of
characters in a line. Each line of characters MUST be no more than
998 characters, and SHOULD be no more than 78 characters, excluding
the CRLF.
RFC2821 (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) states:
4.5.3.1 Size limits and minimums
[...]
text line
The maximum total length of a text line including the <CRLF> is 1000
characters (not counting the leading dot duplicated for
transparency). This number may be increased by the use of SMTP
Service Extensions.
Now, the question is. Don't you think that "git send-email" should at
least warn users that they are trying to send emails with patches that
will be broken at the end?
BR,
/Adam
