Oh, people were testing by building from the attached patch, not from
the git tree. Yes, I see now the email was switched to a single-byte
encoding, and the attachment header confirms it:
Content-Type: text/x-diff; charset=iso-8859-1
----------
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="master.diff"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
I guess my email program, mutt, is trying to be helpful by using a
single-byte encoding when UTF is not necessary, which I guess makes
sense. I will try to remember this can cause problems with SGML
attachments.
