Hi Vivek,
In fedora list is encoded by base64, now when I try to save it as patch
in mutt, the content is meaningless. I can't use 'git am' to apply the
saved patch. Could you please check and change it? I think if base64 is
set, it's unnecessary for fedora kexec mailing list.
In other mailing list, like kdump, the charset is us-ascii.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
in fedora kexec list, the charset is utf-8, and is encoded.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Hi Bao,
I have looked at various mailing list options available to admin and
I can't find anything which allows me to change this behavior.
A quick internet search also does not tell me how to change it.
Shouldn't the mail client automatically decode message for you. Which
mail client are you using and how are you saving messages/patches.
I use mutt to save patch and it seems to decode it fine.
There also seems to be this utility "base64" to encode/decode messages.
May be try it to decode base64 message you have and then apply it.
Thanks
Vivek
