Sorry for a noise.
PSA, as I figured this out. It turns out that gnus-treat-fill-long-lines was set to (typep "text/plain"), which meant that I cannot trust what I see in my MUA as an exact copy of the patch the sender intended to give me. Here is what "Describe variable" gave me (after I fixed it, that is). --- gnus-treat-fill-long-lines's value is nil Original value was (typep "text/plain") Documentation: Fill long lines. Valid values are nil, t, `head', `first', `last', an integer or a predicate. See Info node `(gnus)Customizing Articles'. You can customize this variable. This variable was introduced, or its default value was changed, in version 24.1 of Emacs. --- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
