From fa29f36d990df8cd42f323847245ab2ae0f0ae62 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "brian m. carlson" Date: Sun, 8 Jul 2018 22:17:13 +0000 Subject: docs: correct RFC specifying email line length The git send-email documentation specifies RFC 2821 (the SMTP RFC) as providing line length limits, but the specification that restricts line length to 998 octets is RFC 2822 (the email message format RFC). Since RFC 2822 has been obsoleted by RFC 5322, update the text to refer to RFC 5322 instead of RFC 2821.
