Spooky. When I get copies of my own mails via the git list, they are
QP-encoded; but when I bcc myself directly, I get them in 8bit. But
you all say you get them still 8bit-encoded. I'm not sure I even
_want_ to know what is happening there.
One thing is certain, though: When I sent 8bit-encoded patches from
StGIT to this list, the vger mail server added headers saying that it
didn't like 8bit, and had re-encoded the mail (to what, I don't recall
just now). It warned that in doing so, it had to make assumptions
about the charset used. The assumption it had made was that the text
was latin1, which is not so good when it is in fact utf8.
This all just strengthens my belief that StGIT should go to great
legths to avoid stepping on mail servers' toes.
