From: Ramsay Jones Date: Sun, 6 Oct 2013 20:51:31 +0000 (+0100) Subject: format-patch doc: Thunderbird wraps lines unless mailnews.wraplength=0 X-Git-Tag: rs/ref-transaction-1~600 X-Git-Url: https://repo.or.cz/w/git/jrn.git/commitdiff_plain/f737684d34215f029376f65770c401c2d2b24fe4 format-patch doc: Thunderbird wraps lines unless mailnews.wraplength=0 The Thunderbird section of the 'MUA-specific hints' contains three different approaches to setting up the mail client to leave patch emails unmolested. The second approach (configuration) has a step missing when configuring the composition window not to wrap. In particular, the "mailnews.wraplength" configuration variable needs to be set to zero. Update the documentation to add the missing setting.
