Ulrich privately asked me to really ``fix'' my mailer -- there is nothing
wrong with my mailer; sending MIME-encoded data is a normal thing when
PGP-signing emails.  Any moderatly recent MUA is able to handle this just
fine; no idea what Ulrich is using.


He also asks me (and generally ``people'') to not commit patches
ourselves, because he has to ``fix all kinds of problems'' if people do
so.  I do not think this is appropriate.  For example, on contrary, I do
remember occasions where he committed something else instead of using
just the patch I provided, and *I* had to (request to) fix up his commit.


GrÃÃe,
 Thomas
