I will follow up with an example patch which has the control characters in it.
I can only advise against sending patches in the bodies, sorry. Bodies are for human-language text. Attachments are for files like diffs, and are preserved. Attachments with "Content-Disposition: inline" are for attachments which are supposed to be read directly in the email reader, like is the case here.
I guess that other, console-based email software won't deal with inline attachments as nicely, but the major email clients do. Instead of trying to do something that's going to be fruitless - email bodies are never going to be character-to-character identical, because there are many demands on formatting (up to graphical smiles) and from many different languages (charsets, like seems to be the problem here) on it by users -, I think your better route for success would be to use inline attachments and fix the software which can't deal with *that* properly, including display and quoting.
Sorry to brush you off, but I this is a battle we can't win, either way. Too many demands from too many sides.
