Oh dear...

Hmm, I just use an smtp server for sending messages so the message *should*
be ok. It's the receiving side of things where I get into trouble. If I look
at the .patch I gave to git send-email with hexdump it has:

000007d0  69 74 65 28 76 61 6c 29  3b 0a 2d 09 73 70 69 6e  |ite(val);.-.spin|

So it looks like tabs (ascii code 0x09) are being converted to =09 somewhere
on your end. Mutt should be fine, what are you connecting it to?
