While monitoring Linux-Kernel -list delivery errors, all the sudden a quilt produced patch bounced somewhere because message content does not correctly state that there will be coming 8th-bit set bytes in the content.

Here are all headers that the message had (minus Received: and some other irrelevant ones that transit systems had added)

<pre>
User-Agent: quilt/0.46-1
Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2007 17:07:53 -0400
From: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca>
To: akpm@linux-foundation.org, -unavailable-
Cc: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca>
Subject: [patch 6/7] Immediate Values - Documentation
Content-Disposition: inline; filename=immediate-values-documentation.patch
</pre>

The important missing ones are:
<pre>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-15
</pre>
One can debate on the charset value, possibly also the Content-Type, but it must be defined. Also the "MIME-Version: 1.0" header MUST be there.
