  214 +Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed
  215 +---- message header ----
  216 +The problem is that "format=flowed" makes some of the mailers
  217 +on receiving side to replace TABs with spaces and do similar
  218 +changes. Thus the patches from you can look corrupted.

  221 +pref("mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed", false); // RFC 2646=======
