Hi Guys

The situation has changed now. We are informed that SP2 is already in place in ST and mail client is not doing any tampering.

When i send a mail using git send-email then it receives fine on outlook but on thunderbird, tabs are converted to spaces.

This doesn't happen with every patch on thunderbird, but only a few. And observation is that it happens only with big patches. (more than 500 lines)

Any idea, how to solve issue now on thunderbird??
