Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] SubmittingPatches: remove pine-specific hints from MUA hints
Date: Mon,  7 Jun 2021 13:03:43 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <patch-3.3-a61885a198-20210607T110044Z-avarab@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover-0.3-0000000000-20210607T110044Z-avarab@gmail.com>

Replace the whole section about configuring pine with
no-strip-whitespace-before-send with a note that users should use
another MUA instead.

There hasn't been a release of Pine since late 2005, in Alpine the
no-strip-whitespace-before-send switch is already the default.

This documentation was initially added in 9740d289ee7 (Update
SubmittingPatches to add MUA specific notes., 2005-08-26). At this
point it's safe to say that it's not useful to anyone anymore, let's
remove it.

-Ah, it looks like a recent version changed the default behavior to do the
-right thing, and inverted the sense of the configuration option. (Either
-that or Gentoo did it.) So you need to set the
-"no-strip-whitespace-before-send" option, unless the option you have is
-"strip-whitespace-before-send", in which case you should avoid checking
-it.
-....
+Abandoned by its uptsream and has known flowed text bugs, use its
+successor alpine or another MUA instead.
