Actually, it's even a little more strange, the copies I received via
the kvm and lkml mailing lists don't have the line wrapping and
character conversion, but the tab to space conversion is still there,
which is what caused me to suspect a copy-paste into the mailer.
Between the headers, I see the direct copy has:
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
While the list copy has:
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8BIT
Perhaps the list is automatically fixing some part of the problem.
Thanks,
Alex
