Ah. The line-length issue may explain why the q-p conversion kicked in.
However, I'm not complaining about q-p per se, but about the fact that
it changed the text.
I'm not really sure what's the triggering factor, but I can reproduce it.
The first attachment below is a message as I submitted it to exmh,
and the second is what was delivered. The third is an intermediate
file I found in the drafts directory; I'm not too sure about the
processing sequence but I think this one is the output of mhbuild.
Note that the delivered version got de-quoted-printable-ized by
sendmail or procmail, but what was extracted doesn't match the
original text, which is unsurprising because there's no trace of
the backslashes in the q-p version.
