quoted-printable sucks

[Karl Kleinpaste]

It seems to me that I used to be able to compose mail messages which
were routinely sent as 8bit, iso-8859-1, and I didn't have to do
anything special to make that happen.  Now (p0.95), it seems that
messages with "interesting" characters in them are still sent as
iso-8859-1, but Gnus wants to q-p'ify my universe rather than sending
them 8bit.

Is there some tweak in the vicinity of p0.9x that I was supposed to
make, to keep things happening 8bit-ish?

I'm doing this:

(eval-after-load "mm-bodies"
  '(setcdr (assq 'iso-8859-1 mm-body-charset-encoding-alist)
	   '8bit))

Dunno if there is anything more straight forward.

By the way, can anyone explain me why the following happens to me,
before I have to delve into gnus'source?  Sending a message from the
*Group* buffer (gnus-group-mail) sends it 8-bit encoded, while sending
a message from anywhere (message-mail) qp-encodes it (of course, I
have mail-user-agent set to message-user-agent).

Max.

Hm.  Nope.  All mail should be handled the same, I think...
