The example Tom cites $gmane/99759 does not have long enough lines to be
linewrapped, so perhaps the problem was there from day one but was not
noticed.

I just tried it myself (I don't even regularly use Gmail), following the
procedure outlined in SubmittingPatches.  It does look like Gmail web
interface mangles longer lines in the message.
