It would be silly to mandate users to use msg-id: <200609231533.02455.jnareb@gmail.com> > with the message id stretching far away just for the sake of some > gitweb limitations when having the message wrapped such as msg-id: > <200609231533.02455.jnareb@gmail.com> looks much more reasonable. So when putting message if into commit message, just put the commit message in separate line, perhaps even with some indentation, like below: Msg-Id: <200609231533.02455.jnareb@gmail.com> -- Jakub Narebski Warsaw, Poland ShadeHawk on #git
