which is reasonable and common behavior imo

`git format-patch` did the right thing and converted the e-mail body to 
base64.  if you do the format-patch again and edit the resulting file, you'll 
see it.

there isnt a good one which is why i keep whining at Wolfgang to let it 
through.  you can either not use a unicode environment at all (which sucks), 
or just remember this kind of thing and always check the output of git's 
format-patch before sending it.  then when you notice, review the files to 
figure out where the unicode is coming from -- most of the time it's the 
commit message, but sometimes it comes from comments in the source code.  so 
you have to keep your eyes open for umlauts and such (????).

i havent checked, but using extended codepages will probably also result in 
base64 encoding ...
