But I was told by Bjorn that I was sending emails with funny encoding which meant he had to manually apply the patches, which meant more work for him. I could not figure out how to make git send-email work with the correct encoding. I had to use mutt -H to fix the encoding, doing each email separately. I have no idea why my git send-email is strange.
