Subject: [PATCH RFC 03/10] send-email: Cleanup the usage text and docs a bit
Date: Sat, 11 Apr 2009 14:08:21 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1239476908-25944-3-git-send-email-mfwitten@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1239476908-25944-2-git-send-email-mfwitten@gmail.com>
All usage text lines should be < 80 characters.
A port number in --smtp-server is no longer handled,
so the suggestion has been removed.
--chain-reply-to doesn't take an argument.
Signed-off-by: Michael Witten <mfwitten@gmail.com>
