Subject: imap-send badly handles commit bodies beginning with "From <"
Date: Fri, 28 Oct 2011 13:00:44 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111028180044.GA3966@foghorn.codeweavers.com> (raw)

Ran into this today. I had a commit message that looked like:

---
Do something

>From <http://url>:
Words
---

I put it through imap-send to email it to my project, and ended up
with this output:

sending 1 messages
 200% (2/1) done

On the server side, it was split into two mails on either side of that
commit message's From line with neither mail actually containing the
From line. To fix it, I just changed it to "Copied from <url>:" :-P

Ain't mbox grand?
