Hi folks,

Marc does have a point, which I think is quite valid. A lot of people do
reviews of code in the email they're sent, where - at least for the
commits, it's inlined - and pursuant to discussions about this
elsewhere, that doesn't seem likely to be changing any time soon.

If diffs were attachments with the text/x-patch or text/x-diff
mime-type, it'd be up to peoples MUA and possibly their .mailcap as to
how it should be opened, but that's not something that's doable with the
current setup.

So I do think wrapping to 72 columns is the better option here, if we
want to retain the broadest review possibilities.

Yours,
Daniel Ebdrup Jensen
