Message-Id: <20070823035442.6FD0DDA81F@mailserver7.hushmail.com> Date: Wed, 22 Aug 2007 23:54:41 -0400 From: "Scott Thompson" <postfail@...hmail.com> To: <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>, <kernel-janitors@...r.kernel.org> Subject: Ideas on column length in kernel "problem"? I haven't seen any recent solutions to this "problem"... Many free (and not-free) mail clients wordwrap. Hushmail wraps at 68 (verified), Yahoo has options to wrap at a max of 99, and Gmail was somewhere around 85-90 as I recall. Not sure on other free / inexpensive clients. However, several code modules have code lines with column lengths well over 80 (the worst I have seen was 211). This prevents people with "minimal function" email clients (I'm being generous) from making changes in the area of these long code lines, or from even submitting fixes for the line length problem in modules themselves. I don't have an easy solution short of finding volunteer(s) who can submit patches to resolve this or peer-pressuring module owners into resolving, so opening this issue up to the list for ideas here. In the meantime I'll run a quick review to assess just how many changes this would be ... Note -- I am well aware that us 'poor users' could just 'get a real email service', and if anyone knows of a free/inexpensive mail client that will be able to handle the wordwrap requirements for the current state of the linux tree please advise. --------------------------------------- Scott Thompson / postfail@...hmail.com --------------------------------------- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
