In Git, two-part config settings are case-insensitive. We traditionally write them in lower camel case because it's easier for people to read. Git will canonicalize the values when "git config" runs. So I don't think we should change this. > diff --git a/git-send-email.perl b/git-send-email.perl > index 8200d58cdc..0e23193939 100755 > --- a/git-send-email.perl > +++ b/git-send-email.perl > @@ -239,7 +239,7 @@ sub do_edit { > my (@suppress_cc); > my ($auto_8bit_encoding); > my ($compose_encoding); > -my $target_xfer_encoding = 'auto'; > +my ($target_xfer_encoding); > > my ($debug_net_smtp) = 0; # Net::SMTP, see send_message() > > @@ -446,6 +446,8 @@ sub read_config { > $smtp_encryption = 'ssl'; > } > } > + > + $target_xfer_encoding = 'auto' unless (defined $target_xfer_encoding); > } > > # read configuration from [sendemail "$identity"], fall back on [sendemail] Thanks for fixing this. I didn't realize that we only set values if the variable holding them is undef. Would you mind adding a test for this case so we won't regress it in the future? -- brian m. carlson: Houston, Texas, US OpenPGP: https://keybase.io/bk2204
