I believe all the mails I send with mutt are QP-encoded, and they don't look funny, do they? (You'd see the separator just above my signature as "--=20" if that was the case; it has a trailing whitespace.)
This e-mail, in gmail: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit In Gnus (via gmane, no "=20" displayed though Gnus can handle this encoding correctly): Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: QUOTED-PRINTABLE It looks like the mail server re-encodes the message.

Wouldn't it be better to teach StGIT to eat QP-encoded mails, and use 7bit encoding when the patch is all ascii? (And still have an option to force 8bit instead of QP if desired, of course.)
Well, I don't have any strong opinion here, as long as QP is more widely available. My impression with Gnus was that it cannot handle but I think there was an encoding problem. The initial mail command implementation was inspired from sendpatchset but we should probably now use the email Python package and let it handle the encoding and decoding (for import). -- Catalin - 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
