Message #5 received at submit <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):
If you use rmail edit to change any header in an message with nontrivial
transfer encoding, parts of the header will get encoded, not just the
body. The problem is that the reencoding system in rmail-cease-edit
uses (point), but the previous call to rmail-edit-update-headers changes
(point), unless no headers are modified.
Even if you don't yourself modify any headers, bug#26918 can cause there
to be a new content-type header, triggering this problem.
I'll send a patch to fix this bug and #26918.

Message #10 received at 27353 <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):
[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Here is a patch to fix rmail editing problems associated with the
content-type header and reapplying the transfer-encoding to edited
messages.
Ken
* lisp/mail/rmailedit.el (rmail-cease-edit):
If no content-type in edited headers, look for one in original
headers and add it to edited headers (Bug #26918).
Marker to track start of new body, so that content-transfer-encoding
gets applied only to body (Bug #27353).
Ensure blank line at end of message after encoding, not before.
