Great that you found it!

Garming: Your patch looks good.

That one, needs further discussion, I think.

- Firstly, the commit message is wrong:

  The original cause for the issue was *not* this but the
  omission at build time that was fixed in your commit.
  This thing just made it less apparent. :-)

- I am also not certain that the removal of the default setting
  is appropriate. Up to now the presence of this default it belongs
  to the protocol/libwbclient. So _if_ we want to remove it
  (I am not sure), shouldn't we do it more friendly?

Btw: could you try to persuade your mailer to treat patch
attachments correctly? I.e. encode them, with quoted-printable
or even base64? It is always a nuicance and unneccessary to
have to manually edit your patch files. (This note of course
applies not only to you, but others as well..)

Cheers - Michael
