Im wondering if it's a simple tell microsoft to scan the original email, take the garbled copied email and send out the original email rather than updating exchange etc... Justin P.

At least git-send-email works okay now, but Outlook is horribly broken. You could use gmail/others and send externally. Adding an explicit "From :" line in the patch can still give you credits to your official email address. - Anand -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo(a)vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

My thunderbird with default settings does not replace tabs with spaces. Perhaps the difference between outlook and thunderbird has to do with the method of connecting? On thunderbird you probably use IMAP to get your email from exchange, the IMAP system is horrible on exchange. I suspect it has to do with the implementation of rules regarding spaces. The conformance documentation [1] of MS does not detail this sufficiently, but I am pretty sure that if you use an alternate mail client you will see the spaces replaced also when connecting through IMAP.

In my experience Exchange may - corrupt PGP signed email, causing the signature verification to fail, - send/forward all email in BASE64, causing it to be dropped by vger.kernel.org.
