Hello,

Mail server in ST has recently changed and now we have Microsoft
exchange server. We are using thunderbird as mail client.
What we observed with this server is that patch are broken now while
sending as well as receiving. Tabs are replaced by spaces and may
be some other too which we haven't observed.

Has anybody found a solution to this kind of issues? Are there any
workarounds possible?

I missed this information in my last mail. We are using git send-email for
sending patches. As patches will go through Microsoft exchange server only,
so they are broken.

git.git has some tips for thunderbird, see

http://git.kernel.org/?p=git/git.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/SubmittingPatches;hb=HEAD

and look for the section titled "Thunderbird" (small surprise).

Best regards

With previous server everything was working fine.
