Re: death to qp

Yes, well, sometime back there was discussion on this sort of thing,
and the suggestion then was to modify the definition of this variable,
found in mm-encode.el:

(setq mm-content-transfer-encoding-defaults
      '(("text/x-patch" 8bit)
	("text/.*" 8bit)
	("image/.*" base64)
	("message/rfc822" 8bit)
	("application/emacs-lisp" 8bit)
	("application/x-patch" 8bit)
	(".*" qp-or-base64)))

This changes the default for "text/.*" from qp-or-base64 to 8bit, but
it doesn't seem to be having the right effect.  I'd like to know why.
