Please read the first section: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/Documentation/email-clients.txt The changelog for this say that you are making things fit in 80 characters. You still need to fix your email settings so the from header works. Also it doesn't matter to me, but you probably shouldn't be doing this stuff as root... regards, dan carpenter
