This series is still mal-formatted; for some reason it has one too many
CRs per line.

Did you try to set up the "base64" or the "8bit"
content-transfer-encoding? The emails reflected through the list are
still "quoted-printable".

Anyway, I managed to apply the patches with some trickery on a local branch.

Thanks
