The problem is that it appears that git-send-email is taking normal-looking patches and encoding them as base64, and I don't know about it until after the email is sent. It also appears to be inconsistent. I've seen some utf-8 patches emailed as normal text, and other patches emailed as base64.
I don't have any real problem with utf-8, but I want to prevent git-send-email from doing base64 encodings on its own.
