Specify the transfer encoding to be used to send the message over SMTP.
7bit will fail upon encountering a non-ASCII message. quoted-printable
can be useful when the repository contains files that contain carriage
returns, but makes the raw patch email file (as saved from a MUA) much
harder to inspect manually. base64 is even more fool proof, but also
- even more opaque. Default is the value of the `sendemail.transferEncoding`
- configuration value; if that is unspecified, git will use 8bit and not
- add a Content-Transfer-Encoding header.
