Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] Fix imap-send with reordered message headers
Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2026 07:07:47 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <pull.2456.v2.git.git.1792566469.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2456.git.git.1792437558.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
git imap-send rejected patches sent with git send-email, such as ones
fetched from lore with b4, because it expected Date before Subject.
Changes in v2:
* Case insensitive header match according to RFC 822/2822/5322.
Harald Nordgren (2):
imap-send: avoid leaking the tunnel command
imap-send: accept messages with Subject before Date

@@ Commit message
and git send-email writes Subject before Date.
Accept the three headers in any order within the header block of each
- message. The copy that git send-email --imap-sent-folder pipes to
+ message, and match their names case insensitively as RFC 5322
+ specifies. The copy that git send-email --imap-sent-folder pipes to
imap-send then passes the same check, so the special case added for it
in 04133f5bc4 (send-email: add ability to send a copy of sent emails to
an IMAP folder, 2025-08-12) is no longer needed.
