I just sent a patch to another mailing list, via the "Attach file as
mime" menu item in xemacs, pgnus 0.95.  The maintainer is getting a
mime error.

Attached are his message with all his headers and the message I
sent (also attached via the menu). 

I used the default application/octet-stream; would it have helped if I 
had used something more specific? (It was a .gz file.)

I get

  MIME error: "something other than line break or hex digits after = in quoted-printable encoding"

Can you send it in plaintext?

The two `!' and the line breaks seem to be the problem.  Apparently, you
have sent as quoted-printable a line which was too long for the
underlying software to handle, so it inserted the `!' and maybe also
the `(^?'.

Ick.

Shouldn't Gnus use continuation lines for this kind of thing?  Maybe
the line length calculation is wrong and uses the original line length
(1 char per non-ASCII char) rather than the encoded line length (3
chars per non-ASCII char).

Hm.

Yup.  Shenghuo's patches for 0.97 fixes this, though.
