Subject: [BUG] encoding problem with format-patch + send-email
Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2007 11:57:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071115105726.GA18555@bre-cln-ukleine.digi.com> (raw)
Hello,
Brian just stumbled over a problem with format-patch + send-email.
format-patch only adds Content-Type and Content-Transfer-Encoding
headers iff the body needs it.
send-email adds "From: A. U. Thor <author@tld>" to the body if sender
and From: in the patch to send differ.
Both is just fine, but if the author has some non-ascii characters in
her name but the body is ascii-only the resulting mail is broken.
What about adding the Content-Type and Content-Transfer-Encoding headers
in any case?
Best regards
Uwe
