Subject: Trailing whitespace stripping
Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2003 17:23:10 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <v9znfizocx.fsf@marauder.physik.uni-ulm.de> (raw)

Hi,

in a message posted to emacs-devel by Jay Belanger, whitespace was
removed from attached patch files (text/x-patch) [1].  He wrote, that
he could reproduce it with "-q --no-site-file" [2].

In my tests, I observed, that in the normal message text, trailing
spaces are removed, if there are no other characters on the line
(i.e. "^ +$" --> ""). [3,4] (But I couldn't reproduce it for
text/x-patch attachments.)

I think it should be possible to send both, *inline* patches and
text/* attachments, without any whitespace stripping, because some
mailing lists (or list software) doesn't allow attachments at all.

I couldn't find anything related to this in the Gnus (and Message)
sources.  Any ideas?

Bye, Reiner.
