Just send as Content-type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Of course a patch like that will usually contain several character sets, but that's no problem as long as the byte codes are preserved and we can easily see how the end result looks like. The important thing is that the submitter's and committer's MUAs do it right and reviewers' MUAs do it sort of right. Also, nobody cares if there is still some pre-WWI 7bit-only MTA operated in some lone desert town. And if some web archive of LKML isn't compatible to internet mail, then that's tough luck. -- Stefan Richter -=====-=-=== -=-= -===- http://arcgraph.de/sr/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
