'git send-email' cc-ed me a copy of the patch as well as sent it to the
mailing list.  The copy cc-ed directly to me had the following headers:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

However, the copy received from denx.de had the headers:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
X-MIME-Autoconverted: from base64 to 8bit by xes-inc.com id n3OL05sk002907

Based on the "Autoconverted" line my guess is the email from denx.de was
in base64 and our email server automatically converted it to 8bit
encoding.

I (think I) see base64 coming from denx.de, but not from our mail
server.

The headers imply that a server outside xes-inc.com converted the
8bit/utf-8 message into base64/utf-8.  Perhaps denx.de doesn't support
the 8BITMIME SMTP extension?  Or something along those lines?  Or am I
missing something?

If the messages were encoded in 8bit mode instead of base64 they should
still be grep-able (other than the unicode chars).

Best,
Peter
