We weren't sure how precise the documentation had to be, and tried to keep it concise.

Thanks, will do in v5.

It's not really "initial", right?
$sender looks like a better name, I will work on that, thanks!

I will keep Junio's suggestion :-)
In previous iterations of this series, you had issues with non-ascii characters in at least To: and Cc: fields (perhaps in the Subject field too?). Are they solved? I don't see any tests about it ...
Non-ascii characters are still an issue, I will work on that next week. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
