[PATCH] format-patch: Produce better output with --inline or --attach

From: Kevin Ballard <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:45:04

This patch makes two small changes to improve the output of --inline and --attach.

The first is to write a newline preceding the boundary. This is needed because
MIME defines the encapsulation boundary as including the preceding CRLF (or in
this case, just LF), so we should be writing one. Without this, the last newline
in the pre-diff content is consumed instead.

The second change is to always write the line termination character (default: newline)
even when using --inline or --attach. This is simply to improve the aesthetics of
the resulting message. When using --inline an email client should render the
resulting message identically to the non-inline version. And when using --attach
this adds a blank line preceding the attachment in the email, which is visually
attractive.

Hmm. I am surprised we haven't had more bug reports about this, but
perhaps these features aren't used too frequently. But I double checked
the MIME specs just to be sure, and you are definitely right.

The second change is to always write the line termination character (default: newline)

Can you please wrap your commit messages at some more reasonable length?
This line is 86 characters long.

Re: [PATCH] format-patch: Produce better output with --inline or --attach

The second change is to always write the line termination character 
(default: newline) even when using --inline or --attach. This is simply 
to improve the aesthetics of the resulting message. When using --inline 
an email client should render the resulting message identically to the 
non-inline version. And when using --attach this adds a blank line 
preceding the attachment in the email, which is visually attractive.

It appears that your patch has one uncontroversial and one controversial 
part, then.

Ciao,

Good point. I'll send another re-wrapped patch.

Is this controversial? Nobody's objected so far. My goal with this  
change is to make the --inline output render exactly the same as the  
default output in a mail client. I can't think of any downside.

Nevermind, looks like the previous one was already applied.

No. I didn't comment on it in my earlier response because I don't really
care. But I certainly have no problem with it, and it is probably an
improvement.
