Hi Erik,

this is not a bug but a feature. ;) Actually rejecting HTML is one of the easiest ways to avoid 95 % of spam mails. If you want email to send via gmail, you can do so by enabling "text only" mode for sending mails.

That is good for general discussion. But if you intend to send a patch, beware! gmail as well as most of other mail clients wrap text on their on ("optimized for human readability"), but a patch needs to go through unchanged that it applies on the receiving side cleanly. Therefore I'd recommend setting up git send-email, which does exactly what git needs and wants for sending patches.
