Ah, so what you're saying is that people can't be trusted to behave in a
responsible and professional manner. :)

How can that be done?  Parse the patch escaping all the special characters
as appropriate, passing it across to the ARM920T based list server, and
having that take a while to grep 600MB of linux-arm-kernel archive -
and have it fail because it got turned into quoted-printable or base64
encoded because of the UTF-8 used in the email message?

What you suggest sounds simple, but in practise it is a very hairy problem.
