It would appear that the workflow Andrew uses to queue up patches from you isn't expecting quoted-printable formatting, which is why when Linus gets them, they are mangled.
I don't think that's the case.
Why? Because I see _proper_ handling of MIME and quoted-printable from Andrew all the time.
For example, anything from Jérôme Glisse always ends up having been quoted-printable, simply because of how Jérôme's emails look, and because he has 8-bit characters in his name.
There are other examples of the same thing - a lot of the emails I get from Andrew do end up having quoted-printable encoding.
It's only David's patches that then end up having lost the encoding marker, but have QP sequences in the commit message.
The odd thing is that the *patches* are fine, even if they have equals signs etc that would have been QP-encoded too. So it's literally just the commit message that tends to be corrupt.
Which is why I was suspecting people cut-and-pasting the raw emails for examplanations or something similar.
