No, actually the "problem" is at your end. You do have the
format=flowed specifier, and my mailer, for example, does honor it.
What happens is that your patch _is_ wrapped at 80 characters - but
it's wrapped with format=flowed (eg. with a space at the end of the
line), which means that:
- anyone who doesn't support format=flowed is just going to see a
broken patch wrapped at 80 characters.
- anyone who does support format=flowed is going to see the lines
wrapped at whatever they have specified their display- or
wrap-width. For me this is a hard cut at 80 characters, even though
my window is wider.
Both are incorrect behaviour, since we are not dealing with a
paragraph, but a single line which is really over 80 characters long -
and hence should be sent as such. Brane's hint about using a
preformatted paragraph is probably quite a good solution, I haven't
tested that myself - as is attaching the diffs.
