[Python-Dev] utf-8 encoding in checkins?

[skip at pobox.com]

It seems that all checkin mails are utf-8-encoded.  This makes it
challenging to view checkin mails if you have a text-based mail reader.  (I
use VM within XEmacs.  XEmacs doesn't seem to support utf-8 out of the box.
I believe you need to add MULE to it.)  Is there some reason such messages
can't be encoded in ASCII unless a non-ASCII message body is detected?
