Well, it's required if you're going to actually send the result directly as a mail message, since the RFC 5322 format requires headers be encoded using RFC 2047 encoding. But if you're just attaching the patch to another mail message, it's pointless. -- Russ Allbery (rra@xxxxxxxxxx) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
