Hi, when sending patch files via git send-email, the perl script assumes 7bit characters only. If there are other bytes in the body (foreign language characters in names or translations), some servers (like vger.kernel.org) reject the mail because of th�t. This patch always adds an 8bit header line to each mail. If someone thinks this has any side-effects, tell me, I am open to suggestions.
Regards, Andr�.
