you need to fix your mailer and/or use `git send-email`.  changelogs must be 
line wrapped to the standard e-mail length (or even a few chars shorter).

further, your e-mail lacks the marker "---" which tells git where the 
changelog ends.  `git send-email` takes care of this for you too.

patch changelogs (i.e. what changed in v2, v3, ....) should be below the "---" 
marker or at the end of the changelog (not the start).  personally, i prefer 
the "---" system.
