I've followed all the steps in the git Submitting patches guide. In
fact it works fine for any patch where all lines are less than 80?
chars. however, some of the patches store sha256 hashes (and the like)
and have really long lines and gmail word wraps them.

I've tried submitting patches as follows.

git format-patch -1 -M --stdout | git imap-send

git format-patch -1 -M --stdout --attach | git imap-send

git format-patch -1 -M --stdout --inline | git imap-send


we know the first corrupts the patches. but what I can't figure out is
why the next 2 don't work on the receiving end. The comment was.


git am -3 -i, when I choose [v]iew patch, I get a binary output.


I'm trying to figure out how I can submit patches via gmail for
someone that uses git am. what is being done wrong?
