I think the list engine at SourceForge converts the mail to base64 whenever it feels like it. So there's not much to do about it on your end except staying away from anything but 7-bit ascii.
No, this is not correct. SF may be slow and doing a lot of painful things, but it does NOT convertany messages. That happens at the sender's end.
I double checked. I'm definitely not sending base64. My copy in my sent mailbox is in utf-8, not base64.
I've seen that before too. Wolfgang yelled at me for sending base64, so I checked with some people which I had Cc'ed directly, and they received it correctly. Only people who got it through the list received it base64-encoded.
So whatever it is that mangles the message, it's not a trivial problem and I think yelling at the sender is the wrong thing to do.
In any case, it's probably a good idea to include whoever you want to apply the patch in the recipient list.
