remarkup list formatting does not handle word-wrapped emails correctly
Open, LowPublic
Actions

Description

So:

  • It is pretty common for mail clients to word wrap emails.

Tunderbird for example does so by default and I only figured out how to
turn if off when when I needed to send patches from git to a mailing
list that developed kernel style.

  • People On The Internet say that RFC 2646 mandates word wrapping or

something like that, but I'm not going to pretend to actually having
read that and obviously not everyone does it.

  • This email is rambling so my fake bullet point lines are longer than

one line. It should this be all meta and demonstrate the bug but if it
does not I will make me look lame.

Can you provide a screenshot of the email and what happened in Phabricator so we know what we have to reproduce?

Sorry, I'm still not understanding the issue, a screenshot for future Phabricator archeologists would be most helpful. Can you attach an image of said mail client and how the email looks before sending it?

What I pasted is the 'raw' source of the message which I presume is what it needed to reproduce. In gui client land it looks something like

Well I'm the designer of the group, so visually aids are highly appreciated. Thanks!
