The git am documentation talks about “mailboxes”. I suppose these contain messages in Internet Mail syntax. Is git am supposed to decode MIME?

I'm asking because I have a message whose body is encoded as quoted-printable, but git am does not parse the patch contained in it.

If git am is supposed to deal with this, I'll dig deeper and try to figure out where things go wrong.

Thanks, Florian
