+CAUTION
+-------
+It is still your responsibility to make sure that the email message
+sent by your email program meets the standards of your project.
+Many projects do not like patches to be attached. Some mail
+agents will transform patches (e.g. wrap lines, send them as
+format=flowed) in ways that make them fail. You will get angry
+flames ridiculing you if you don't check this.
+
+Thunderbird in particular is known to be problematic. Thunderbird
+users may wish to visit this web page for more information:
