In case anyone is interested in the details. I composed the text in Kate, which I have programmed to draw a visible line at 80 columns, using that guide to create hard line-endings within the 80 character limit. This works around the recently introduced odd behavior with Kmail that appears to be a half- completed format=flowed implementation, which I felt was worth the extra effort for the actual text of the GR. I then copied the text into Kmail and sent it to the list, but somehow the signature got mangled. A bit of testing demonstrated there was some incompatibility between the following three things: 1. The text of the email. 2. The way Kmail signed and sent the email. 3. The debian-vote mailing list. Other emails Kmail sends to debian-legal include my signature correctly. So, it isn’t a problem that always affects Kmail or always affects emails I send to debian-vote. Using Kmail to send the same email to a personal Gmail address results in a correct signature. So, it isn’t a general problem with Kmail or with the text of the email. Using Thunderbird to send the same text copied out of Kate to debian-vote resulted in a valid signature. That was the third copy of the email I sent. These are the fun problems to troubleshoot. ;) -- Soren Stoutner so...@debian.org
