I sent this message to the SVN list already, but it appears that it doesn't arrive there (but I did also not receive a rejection through a moderator message).
Since the move from SVN to GitHub, the format of the messages in the SVN list looks a bit strange to me:
- Roundcube is displaying the attachment icon for each message,
although there is no attachment at all in any of the messages.
Actually GitHub sends the original message as a mime part, and mailman therefore "attaches" the mailing list footer (Content-Disposition: inline, though).
- All messages are declared as "multitype/mixed" for no real reason
(the second part just containing the signature, this could perfectly be appended to the first part without creating a second part).
Here too, the Content-Type is slightly different - the original GitHub message and the mailman mailing list footer claim to use a different charset.
- The Content-Type of the first part (i.e. the real content of the
message) is "text/plain; charset=UTF-8", the Content-Transfer-Encoding "7bit". If CTE is 7bit, shouldn't the charset be "US-ASCII" then? The UTF-8 declaration will probably (and unnecessarily) invoke a decoding routine in most MUAs, although there is nothing to decode.
I suppose there's only nothing to decode (most of the time) because there's no actual utf-8 characters included in the message - but a commit message may contain utf-8 characters, of course.
