Actually, it is Sverre's fault. :) You quoted his message, quoting Christian's message. Christian's message was 7bit. But for some reason, Sverre's quoting of Christian's message contains weird iso8859 space characters (0xa0). But it is probably worth configuring Gnus to use QP instead of base64. It's more efficient (for mostly ascii text), more readable to humans looking at the encoded form, and is less likely to make you look like a spammer. :) -Peff -- 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
