If a subscriber's mailserver does not support the 8BITMIME SMTP
extension, then vger will (correctly) encode an 8bit message as QP.
Gmane's mailservers do not seem to support 8BITMIME.

You see it only with Santi's message because most messages are already
7bit clean; however, the accent in his name requires git to mark it as
8-bit.
