Yes, it puzzles me too. OK, Evolution it's not the most accurate piece
of software ever; but this is weird.

If I check my e-mails in my sent folder, content transfer encoding it's
8bits, but the mail that gets back from the list it's base64 encoded.

I'm going to capture some traffic while sending this e-mail, so at least
I can clean Evolution's reputation a little bit :)

Cheers,
