From e6b0964af595bbc4dab2a63c17bc4c8064a28073 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Sat, 7 Oct 2006 03:09:05 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Make git-send-email detect mbox-style patches more readily Earlier we insisted that mbox file to begin with "From ". That is fine as long as you feed format-patch output, but if you handcraft the input file, this is unnecessary burden. We should detect lines that look like e-mail headers and say that is also a mbox file. The other input file format is traditional "send lots of email", whose first line would never look like e-mail headers, so this is a safe change. The original patch was done by Matthew Wilcox, which checked explicitly for headers the script pays attention to.
