I haven't seen any breakage. I just noticed a different font being used
for Santi's posts (due to different character encoding, with a different
font preset in TB) and looked at the message source, where I saw =20 and
such all over the place (message display is fine). When saving from TB
the QP is undone. It just made me feel uneasy because of our recent
discussion regarding format-flowed and patch submission. I know ff \ne
qp, but still I thought git-{send-email,apply} would prefer straight ascii.
