nit: "fix" doesn't tell me what was broken and what you improved about
it. Here, I think you mean "respect transferencoding config option".

nit: I was confused when first reading this, since I read "the
configuration $target_xfer_encoding" as a single phrase. A comma
after "configuration" might help.

run-on sentence. I'm having trouble parsing this part.
Can you start from the beginning and describe again what this does?
In other words, tell me
- What is the user-facing effect of the change? What workflow is it
part of?
- Any risks or complications?
- Any technical details that might be interesting to the later reader?
- What does this allow me to do that I couldn't do before?
The code can speak for itself, so this should primarily focus on the
intention behind the change.

Makes sense.
Is there a way to cover this in tests (t/t9001-send-email.sh) so we
can avoid regressing again?
The rest looks good.
Thanks for noticing, and hope that helps,
Jonathan
