Right, I'm used to using 'git am' for attachments, but not entire
e-mails.  I'll try to adapt!  Also
https://codeberg.org/inetutils/inetutils is open for pull requests

required).

Thanks again for noticing and fixing this.  Is your QA tool that found
this easily usable from a GitLab CI pipeline?  It would be nice to have
tools that caught regressions in this area.  Or for use in other
projects, I suspect similar issues are common.
