Ironically, the vger.kernel.org mailserver adheres to\nRFC822 and ignores RFC2822 at the moment, which means that generating patches\nfrom git, for the git mailinglist doesn't work without intervention.\nI already contacted the vger-mailserver admin about this.\n-- \nSincerely,                                                          srb@cuci.nl\n           Stephen R. van den Berg.\n"}]}
