I've done this for my latest series dropping pseries support, but it
seems the messages that reached the mailing list are still encoded as
quoted-printable, despite git reporting that they were sent as 8bit.

I suppose my SMTP server is mangling the encoding, then. I'll look into
this some more, but hopefully the quoted-printable patches I send in the
meantime won't pose too much of an inconvenience.
