As last time: No, emails are perfectly capable of preserving CRLF line
endings via e.g. "quoted-printable" or "base64" transfer-encoding and
that’s what git send-email automatically uses.

As a case in point of it not being "just" patchwork, there’s the
troubles with patch 3 of this series already as sent out by the list.
This is most likely to blame on the list itself and its message-editing to
add a footer though, and not on git send-email or email in general.

And again like last, time I do ofc check the sent&received emails and not
local patch files. You can easily verify emails are capable of it by
applying patch 2 yourself or using patchwork’s mbox file.

Please actually focus on the patch this time. I have no need for repeating
the same long tangent about email and transfer encodings as last time, so
I’ll ignore all further messages from you not about the code changes.
