Hello Laurent,

Could you ask Thunderbird to not send a HTML version of your e-mails

Do you have some pointers/references about this issue ?

Well, as I said, I'm not really convinced by a solution that consists
in excluding binutils 2.29 and binutils 2.30 for ARMv7-M. Indeed, once
binutils 2.31 is released, we will make binutils 2.30 the default
version, and remove support for binutils 2.28.

Hence the proper solution is to move forward and fix the kernel
problem, rather than force the use of older binutils.

Best regards,
