Hi,
I've been noticing this behavior for a long time, but yesterday it has
really annoyed me because it made me waste a lot of time trying to
understand why a patch wasn't applying.
The problem: Gnus (or Emacs) is eating some newline characters in
messages. This happens particularly often with hyperlinks, but
yesterday it happened inside an inlined patch in a message.
So take for example:
---
# This line is a comment followed by an empty line.
-all: bla.c
+all: bla.c blergh.c
---
This would be a normal piece of a patch. However, I received this:
---
# This line is a comment followed by an empty line.
-all: bla.c
+all: bla.c blergh.c
---
I.e., the empty line got swalled and became a space character. I did a
search for "gnus bug newline" or similar terms, but couldn't find
anything useful.
Do you guys happen to know what could be happening? Maybe it's Emacs
fault?
Thanks in advance,
--
Sergio
