I noticed that the new mailinfo when splitting a message into cover letter and the patch text seems to munge the patch text, applying the same "if content-type is not there then assume latin-1 and recode to utf-8" logic that is applied to the commit log message. That munging should not be done to the patch text, and it appears the current code botches it. I am a bit too busy with day job today and haven't had a chance to look into this problem fully, but 1.5.0.3 does not seem to have this problem but post 87ab7992 mailinfo is problematic. - 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
