That's a massive assumption. There are a number of editors that automatically add a blank line to the end of source files. I stand by taking the option that requires the least conscious thought from your developers - they have enough important stuff to occupy their brain that remembering to make sure there is no whitespace at the end of their source files should not be one of them. -Stuart

I would suggest getting a text editor that doesn't do that then. There are text editors that don't. There also are e-mail clients that properly wrap the body content before sending ;)

I would rather not have a requirement on the tools my developers use which potentially (and usually) improves their productivity than impose a requirement that has no apparent benefit outside of XML files, and even then the benefit is irrelevant since it's already a file that contains both code and XML. And if you don't like the way my emails look feel free to forward them into a black hole, I'll be fine with that. Alternatively talk to Apple and get them to change their Mail app to your idea or "properly". Either way I'm going to get back to worrying about things that matter. ;) -Stuart

I suspect that you just don't word wrap enabled in your Mail.app preferences. That use to be an option anyway (I haven't used OS X since 10.1) Anyway, I didn't fix the wrap on this before replying just to show what happens. Each paragraph end up as a big long line instead of having a break put in. Ah well, doesn't bother me as much as HTML mail to lists does ;)
