From 82d75402d549353e26152062b93711bb47ffc1cf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dragan Simic Date: Tue, 20 Feb 2024 23:22:51 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] documentation: send-email: use camel case consistently Correct a few random "sendemail.*" configuration parameter names in the documentation that, for some unknown reason and contrary to the expected, didn't use camel case format. The majority of the corrections are straightforward, by using camel case to denote boundaries of the individual words that, stringed together, make up configuration parameter names. A couple of abbreviations found in some of the corrected configuration parameter names present some exceptions, which are described in detail below. First, there's "SSL" as the abbreviation for "Secure Sockets Layer". [1] As such, it's written using all uppercase letters, which is pretty much the general rule for making abbreviations, although with certain exceptions. Second, there's "Cc" as the abbreviation for "carbon copy", which is another exception. As the acronym for "carbon copy", "cc" (mind the all lowercase letters) stems from the rather old times when, literally, carbon copies were made. [2] Therefore, using "CC" (mind the all uppercase letters) or "cc" (mind the all lowercase letters) would be technically correct in the email domain, as the abbreviation or as mentioned in RFC2076, [3] respectively, but the age of email has established "Cc" (mind the mixed uppercase and lowercase letters) as some kind of de facto standard. [1][4][5] Moreover, some of the git utilities, primarily git-send-email(1), already refer to making email carbon copies as specifying "Cc:" email headers. As a result, "Cc" becomes one of the exceptions to the general rule for making abbreviations.
