        “If you don't know how to handle an error, crash the program.”

I still haven't been able to recreate this bug [1] in mod_blog [2].

Or rather, I haven't been able to get mutt [3] to use “quoted-printable”
encoding [4] I was so not expecting. All my attempts failed, and mutt sent
the emails encoded as “8bit” encoded [5] (which isn't an encoding per se,
more of an “indication” of what to expect).

Sigh.

In the meantime, I added a bit of code to detect the issue and abort
immediately [6] so I won't have to scramble to manually fix the blog like
I've done twice now.
