So quoted-printable would be no problem as *LFS tickets are mostly
US-ASCII and can therefore be pretty well understood if viewed in
quoted-printable. Then we'd still have 7 bits during transport.

Perfect readability with vim was not in my mind when I sent that
message, but the ability to find out what the message is about (or run a
grep on the mbox etc.) without starting the mail client can be useful
sometimes.
