I'm not sure that using a different MTA is going to help. I don't think
I can find a patch on the list that I can apply (without using unix2dos).
I did send a patch to my gmail address, and it looks fine (=0D in the
expected places and nowhere else). So maybe when a patch is sent through
a mailing list, some more formating is done?
Anyway, can I try sending patch encoded in base64 instead of
quoted-printable? That would probably work better.
I found <20190704040731.5303-1-glin at suse.com> on the list that is base64
encoded, that I can easily apply and patchew too.
