For a record, zenghongling send html mail
https://lore.kernel.org/ltp/2oc1dehrobv-2oc577y0tt8@nsmail7.0.0--kylin--1/T/#u

thus repeat it here: the affected commit is here:
https://github.com/tytso/e2fsprogs/commit/59037c5357d39c6d0f14a0aff70e67dc13eafc84
which is from v1.46.0.

I'm testing it on openSUSE with 1.46.5 and it does not have problem.
Maybe there is some problem on the system you test and lower the barrier you
just hide it. Maybe others see it differently.
