Subject: [PATCH v5 0/4] imap-send: fix with reordered message headers
Date: Sun, 01 Nov 2026 08:21:33 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <pull.2456.v5.git.git.1793521297.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2456.git.git.1792437558.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
git imap-send rejected patches sent with git send-email, such as ones
fetched from lore with b4, because it expected Date before Subject.
Changes in v5:
* End the header block at an empty line in a CRLF mbox as well, so headers
in the body or in later messages no longer count. Add a test.
Changes in v4:
* Store the tunnel as an allocated pointer, so it is only finished when it
was started, and drop the local tunnel variable
* Add a test for lowercase from:, date: and subject: headers
* Explain in the commit message why dropping the From git-send-email
special case is fine for mboxes written by other scripts
Changes in v3:
* Split concerns into different commits, commit message explains what they
do.
* Handle tunnel leak in the proper place.
Changes in v2:
* Case insensitive header match according to RFC 822/2822/5322.
Harald Nordgren (4):
imap-send: wait for the tunnel command to finish
imap-send: accept messages with Subject before Date
imap-send: check git send-email copies like other messages
imap-send: match header names case insensitively
