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
