Personally I think this is what should be done if these cosmetic issues are so minor that no one wants to actually fix them (yet): 1) Report a bug about not perfect headers to the developers of the gateway (not to Wine' Bugzilla because we don't have a developer for this yet). Of course with clear explanation about what the problem is, what is the difference between expected and current behavior, etc. They are more likely to have a developer who will fix this. 2) What about "too long lines" problem this isn't even a bug in the gateway - it is a bug in the mail client if it can't display such messages properly (most of e-mail clients don't have such problem). BTW, it is legitimate to send messages by e-mail without forced line wrapping (and sometimes even preferred - for example if you sending a message to wine-patches with a patch in the body). If someone thinks we should care about this compatibility issue with broken clients - it is good idea first to ask site admin: perhaps there is already an option in the gateway to preprocess messages with standard Linux command like fmt in order to force line wrapping for broken clients. If there is no such option yet - post a feature request to the developers of the gateway. There is some caveats however - for example, if forum user post a backtrace or terminal output it might be wrapped and this is bad. Therefore personally I think that this issue should be fixed on client side and has nothing to do with the gateway. If someone think otherwise please discuss this with site admin - only he decides is such a change acceptable or not. To me it seems that developers of the gateway might be even not aware yet about issue #1 - most people (possibly including developers of the gateway) simply will not notice it. I'm noticing it and don't like it but it isn't big annoyance for me because as I said before I don't have any trouble understanding messages from forum users. If someone find enough free time to report a bug to the developers of the gateway about issue #1 - please post a link to it here.
