Description David Woodhouse 2015-05-19 13:14:58 UTC 
I used to be able to safely send patches from Evolution like this:

mv `git format-patch origin` ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/.Drafts/new

Then I could open the mails in my Drafts folder in the composer, edit them if necessary, and hit 'send'.

In 3.16 this appears to have broken. Tabs in the emails get converted to spaces.
So the patches at https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/15/519 for example do not apply.

The same happens if I just start a blank composer and insert a text file.
