[PATCH 1/3] send-email: add an auto option for transfer encoding

2018-07-05 Thread brian m. carlson
For most patches, using a transfer encoding of 8bit provides good compatibility with most servers and makes it as easy as possible to view patches. However, there are some patches for which 8bit is not a valid encoding: RFC 5321 specifies that a message must not have lines exceeding 998 octets.
