Subject: [PATCH RFC3 05/13] send-email: Cleanup the usage text and docs a bit
Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2009 13:23:49 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1239647037-15381-6-git-send-email-mfwitten@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1239647037-15381-5-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.
The here-document quotation that defines the usage
text is now a single-quote form, so that no interpolation
takes place.
