+GMail does not appear to have any way to turn off line wrapping in the web
+interface, so this will mangle any emails that you send.  You can however
+use any IMAP email client to connect to the google imap server, and forward
+the emails through that.  Just make sure to disable line wrapping in that
+email client.

 Submitting properly formatted patches via Gmail is simple now that
 IMAP support is available. First, edit your ~/.gitconfig to specify your
 account settings:
 
 [imap]
-	folder = "[Gmail]/Drafts"
+	folder = "[Google Mail]/Drafts"
 	host = imaps://imap.gmail.com
 	user = user@gmail.com
