Google mail auto wraps long lines and there is no way to change this setting. Safe way would be to use attachments. Are they allowed on git mailing list? Thanks, --Leo-- ``` ## Tuncer Ayaz, 2008-10-18 12:16 Subject: Re: [Q] submitting patches from gmail Message-ID: <4ac8254d0810180516h56633ed3q8377ddbbbf316bab@mail.gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/4ac8254d0810180516h56633ed3q8377ddbbbf316bab%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` On Sat, Oct 18, 2008 at 2:08 PM, Leo Razoumov wrote: > Hi Everyone, > I wonder what is the preferred way to submit patches from a gmail account. > Google mail auto wraps long lines and there is no way to change this setting. > Safe way would be to use attachments. Are they allowed on git mailing list? I do use git send-mail with msmtp as the SMTP client and smtp.gmail.com as the host. If you are able to go that route it would solve your problem. ``` ## Giuseppe Bilotta, 2008-10-18 12:50 Subject: Re: [Q] submitting patches from gmail Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/gdcm3d%24f3k%241%40ger.gmane.org In-Reply-To: ``` On Saturday 18 October 2008 14:08, Leo Razoumov wrote: > Hi Everyone, > I wonder what is the preferred way to submit patches from a gmail account. > Google mail auto wraps long lines and there is no way to change this setting. > Safe way would be to use attachments. Are they allowed on git mailing list? I've been sending patches from gmail for a while without problems. It took me a while to find a working configruation, but I finally managed to do it using msmtp. I have [sendemail] smtpserver = /usr/bin/msmtp in my ~/.gitconfig and the following ~/.msmtprc ====== # Example for a user configuration file # Set default values for all following accounts. defaults tls on tls_trust_file /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt logfile ~/.msmtp.log # My email service account gmail host smtp.gmail.com from yourgmailusername@gmail.com auth on user yourgmailusername password yourgmailpassword # Set a default account account default : gmail ========= And to send patches I just use something like git send-email --to "git@vger.kernel.org" --cc "whoever" 00* -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta ``` ## Tuncer Ayaz, 2008-10-18 13:00 Subject: Re: [Q] submitting patches from gmail Message-ID: <4ac8254d0810180600t7e06d05ya635d60c3e8ec8e6@mail.gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/4ac8254d0810180600t7e06d05ya635d60c3e8ec8e6%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` On Sat, Oct 18, 2008 at 2:50 PM, Giuseppe Bilotta wrote: > On Saturday 18 October 2008 14:08, Leo Razoumov wrote: > >> Hi Everyone, >> I wonder what is the preferred way to submit patches from a gmail account. >> Google mail auto wraps long lines and there is no way to change this setting. >> Safe way would be to use attachments.
