To butt in uninvited into this conversation, it doesn't look like 
there's anything really wrong with what David sends, except for the 
quoted-printable formatting, which is probably converted automatically 
by one of Red Hat's relay MTAs.

In theory, it doesn't really matter, as mail clients are supposed to be 
properly undoing all this 7-bit legacy madness. When we run that thread 
through "b4 am" to get things back into 8bit, everything looks just 
fine. You can try it yourself:

b4 am 20200128093542.6908-1-david@xxxxxxxxxx

It would appear that the workflow Andrew uses to queue up patches from 
you isn't expecting quoted-printable formatting, which is why when Linus 
gets them, they are mangled.

We would either need to switch Andrew to a set of tools that handle 7bit 
legacy formats better, or figure out how you can send things via MTAs 
that won't convert from 8bit to quoted-printable. Maybe you can convince 
Red Hat to set up their relays to always preserve 8bit?
