Since the move from SVN to GitHub, the format of the messages in the SVN
list looks a bit strange to me:

1) Roundcube is displaying the attachment icon for each message, although
there is no attachment at all in any of the messages.


Actually GitHub sends the original message as a mime part, and mailman therefore "attaches" the mailing list footer (Content-Disposition: inline, though).

2) All messages are declared as "multitype/mixed" for no real reason (the second part just containing the signature, this could perfectly be appended
to the first part without creating a second part).


Here too, the Content-Type is slightly different - the original GitHub message and the mailman mailing list footer claim to use a different charset.

3) The Content-Type of the first part (i.e. the real content of the
message) is "text/plain; charset=UTF-8", the Content-Transfer-Encoding
"7bit". If CTE is 7bit, shouldn't the charset be "US-ASCII" then? The UTF-8 declaration will probably (and unnecessarily) invoke a decoding routine in
most MUAs, although there is nothing to decode.


I suppose there's only nothing to decode (most of the time) because there's no actual utf-8 characters included in the message - but a commit message may contain utf-8 characters, of course.

Kind regards,
