Email sent with list got truncated unexpectedly, dropping the list

Contribute Bug

AI-generated summary

lydia-duncan reported that an email she sent got truncated unexpectedly, cutting off a list of links. The original message contained a list of four links from the Chapel language’s Types module, but the received email only showed the introduction text and lost the list. She suspects that the start of the list might have caused the truncation and is inquiring whether this behavior is a recent change or if there’s a configuration setting that can be adjusted to avoid it.

I sent the following message:

While it's not querying it from the type itself, one thing that you could use is these queries from the Types module:

- https://chapel-lang.org/docs/latest/modules/standard/Types.html#Types.isOwnedClass
- https://chapel-lang.org/docs/latest/modules/standard/Types.html#Types.isSharedClass
- https://chapel-lang.org/docs/latest/modules/standard/Types.html#Types.isUnmanagedClass
- https://chapel-lang.org/docs/latest/modules/standard/Types.html#Types.isBorrowedClass

which I believe will allow you to pass either `from` itself or `fromType` and get a `bool` result.  You could then use that to explicitly set the matching memory management in the new declaration (probably by taking advantage of split initialization so that `tmp` can live outside of the `if` statement making these checks

Hope that helps,
Lydia

But it got automatically truncated to:

could use is these queries from the Types module:

It seems like something about the start of the list caused it to get cut off. I wasn’t seeing any recent reports along these lines (there was one from 2015 that mentioned two - being interpreted as a signature, but that’s not what I wrote and that issue looked resolved)

Did this change recently? Is there a setting we should adjust in our configuration to avoid this behavior?

Thanks,
Lydia
