First, sorry everyone on the Cc list for the triple post.  I first
blamed it on the fact that I was Cc'ing Gabor, but apparently the
problem was in the content.

The files I handed to git-send-email were UTF-8, and I used my usual
git alias to --cc Gabor on the first pass which also results in an
UTF-8 encoded name.

I got this back from our university mail server:

  git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
  vger.kernel.org #550 5.7.1 Content-Policy reject msg: Wrong MIME labeling on 8-bit character texts. BF:<H 0>; S1753608Ab0FLKCQ ##

AFAICT the original message did not declare an encoding:

It's hard to be 100% sure though because in the infinite wisdom of MS
Exchange, the bounce came back with everything wrapped in a layer of
HTML(!) and declared latin-1.

Is this a new vger policy, or am I hitting a send-email bug?
