Re: [PATCH] git-send-email.perl: check for lines longer than 998 characters

But what next? Still send the problematic patches not encoded?

I meant "warn and stop before sending anything".  The sender can
fix it up in any way he wants.

You _could_ give an option to send-email to allow it to QP and
wrap without failing (perhaps with warning), but that should be
explicitly asked for, as some people/list do not want MIME.  On
such a list, the sender may even have to go back to the tree and
fix the file contents before regenerating the patches.
