Hi Juan,

this mail and the other mails from this patch series trigger
an alert in my mail filter:

X-Amavis-Alert: BAD HEADER SECTION Duplicate header field: "References"

The following extract from the mail header shows that there is really
a duplication of the fields "In-Reply-To" and "References":

handlers

This is not a new issue, and there are lots of other mail senders which
also send mails with duplications. I noticed that recently and would like
to understand how it happens. Maybe some tool (git-send-email?) which is
used for sending mails is buggy.

Do you remember how you created the patch mails?
Which mailer did you use?
Do you also see the duplication in your local copy of that mail?
Do other users also see the duplicate lines in the full mail header?

Or is this a bug in my MTA?

Regards,

Stefan W.
