[Pan-users] user-agent header for v0.138: Ger ät apparently not mail-RFCs compliant (unencoded non-a scii)

[Duncan]

I thought for sure I had posted on this to pan-devel, but I sure don't 
see the post. <shrug>  Oh well, I have a patch now, and it might help for 
others, so...

I follow the gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs group on gmane, which of 
course is a news gateway to the linux-btrfs (at) vger.kernel.org btrfs 
development mailing list.

Unfortunately, after the git repo bump to 0.138, "Der Gerät", I could no 
longer post.  I kept getting bounces from the listserv objecting to non-
mime-encoded characters in the headers.  It turned out to be that ä in 
Gerät.

Most newsservs and the nntp transpart is now almost full 8-bit-clean, 
including utf-8, but that's not always true of mail, obviously, so for 
gmane and other news2mail gateways and for replies via email, that header 
really does need either mime-7-bit-ascii encoded or pan's 0.138 version 
name changed to something else.

For now, I've simply patched the offending character back into a standard 
ascii "a".  Here's the patch, if anyone else needs it.  

I'm attaching via pan's attachment feature.  Hope it works thru gmane!  
If not, here's the inline version as well.  Hope it's not munged too!
