I don't think that's the case.
Why? Because I see _proper_ handling of MIME and quoted-printable from
Andrew all the time.
For example, anything from Jérôme Glisse always ends up having been
quoted-printable, simply because of how Jérôme's emails look, and
because he has 8-bit characters in his name.
There are other examples of the same thing - a lot of the emails I get
from Andrew do end up having quoted-printable encoding.
It's only David's patches that then end up having lost the encoding
marker, but have QP sequences in the commit message.
The odd thing is that the *patches* are fine, even if they have equals
signs etc that would have been QP-encoded too. So it's literally just
the commit message that tends to be corrupt.
Which is why I was suspecting people cut-and-pasting the raw emails
for examplanations or something similar.
