612 The folder to drop the mails into, which is typically the Drafts
613 folder. For example:
"INBOX.Drafts",
"INBOX/Drafts" or
614 "[Gmail]/Drafts". Required to use imap-send.
622 Command used to setup a tunnel to the IMAP server through which
623 commands will be piped instead of using a direct network connection
624 to the server. Required when imap.host is not set to use imap-send.
632 A URL identifying the server. Use a
<tt>imap://
</tt> prefix for non-secure
633 connections and a
<tt>imaps://
</tt> prefix for secure connections.
634 Ignored when imap.tunnel is set, but required to use imap-send
643 The username to use when logging in to the server.
651 The password to use when logging in to the server.
659 An integer port number to connect to on the server.
660 Defaults to
143 for imap:// hosts and
993 for imaps:// hosts.
661 Ignored when imap.tunnel is set.
669 A boolean to enable/disable verification of the server certificate
670 used by the SSL/TLS connection. Default is
<tt>true
</tt>. Ignored when
675 imap.preformattedHTML
679 A boolean to enable/disable the use of html encoding when sending
680 a patch. An html encoded patch will be bracketed with
<pre
>
681 and have a content type of text/html. Ironically, enabling this
682 option causes Thunderbird to send the patch as a plain/text,
683 format=fixed email. Default is
<tt>false
</tt>.
691 Specify authenticate method for authentication with IMAP server.
692 Current supported method is
<em>CRAM-MD5
</em> only.

745 <div class=

751 <div class=

752 sent by your email program meets the standards of your project.
753 Many projects do not like patches to be attached. Some mail
754 agents will transform patches (e.g. wrap lines, send them as
755 format=flowed) in ways that make them fail. You will get angry
756 flames ridiculing you if you don
