From 5b38456ec7bd0229bb35146ab8a905c4b63daeec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Thu, 26 May 2011 16:53:38 -0400 Subject: mailinfo: always clean up rfc822 header folding Without the "-k" option, mailinfo will convert a folded subject header like: Subject: this is a subject that doesn't fit on one line into a single line. With "-k", however, we assumed that these newlines were significant and represented something that the sending side would want us to preserve. For messages created by format-patch, this assumption was broken by a1f6baa (format-patch: wrap long header lines, 2011-02-23). For messages sent by arbitrary MUAs, this was probably never a good assumption to make, as they may have been folding subjects in accordance with rfc822's line length recommendations all along. This patch now joins folded lines with a single whitespace character. This treats header folding purely as a syntactic feature of the transport mechanism, not as something that format-patch is trying to tell us about the original subject.
