Add MIME-Version/Content-Type/Content-Transfer-Encoding headers in messages generated with git-format-patch. Without it, messages generated without using --attach or --inline didn't have any content type information. I got hit with this problem yesterday when sending a patch to linux-kernel with a commit message containing the name "Pádraig" in it. Moreover, the mailing-list software added an incorrect ISO-8859-1 encoding information which mangled Pádraig's name.
