Something like: applymail.allowed_flowed = true/false/warn If you're completely opposed though, we should modify git-am (and/or mailinfo) to reject format=flowed messages entirely, no? j. - 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
