[O] Non-printable Characters in Bug Reports
My last bug report on this list was prepared with org-submit-bug-report
in an Emacs with a minimal configuration. From there I copy/pasted the
contents of the resulting mail buffer to an mu4e mail buffer in my fully
configured usual Emacs. Then I finished the bug report and hit send.
mu4e noticed non-printable characters in the mail and asked what to do
about it. The mail contained e.g. something like
("ftp" :follow
#[257 "\301\300\302^CQ!\207" ["ftp" browse-url ":"] 5
"\n\n(fn URL)"])
where ^C was not ^ followed by C, but the way Emacs dispays some
particular non-printing character.
I told mu4e to replace the characters. Apparently, all non-printable
characters have been replaced by ASCII periods.
Is there a best practice? Leave or replace?
