Subject: Missing MIME-headers in git-email-tool ..
Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2007 11:53:38 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071030095338.GZ6372@mea-ext.zmailer.org> (raw)
The git-send-email does send posts without any sort of MIME labeling:
From: / To: removed
Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Blackfin I2C/TWI driver updates
Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2007 17:33:15 +0800
Message-Id: <1193736797-9005-1-git-send-email-bryan.wu@analog.com>
X-Mailer: git-send-email 1.5.3.4
Precedence: bulk
which per MIME rules means that the message in question is equivalent
to one with header labels:
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
What would be a problem ? Some of us have names that are encoded
in 8-bit form, and some receiving systems get all mighty upset when
they receive unlabelled email carry 8-bit encoded texts.
(Thanks to chinese and russian spammers..)
Now if the git-send-email would add following three lines in all
outgoing email headers, things would be 99% correct for a long time..
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8BIT
The potential incorrectness is with UTF-8 encoded names.
Even then it probably is merely nuisance and not real delivery
preventing detail.
