I believe that the issue is with Junio's mail client. Indeed, the
context encoding for the mail *body* was specified as 8859-1, but
that should have none effect on fields in the mail header, because
any field is the header should be either printable ASCII or encoded
to contain only ASCII characters as specified in RFC 1522:
Yes. But it's the body that's been mangled -- specifically, the
Sign-off line.
Hmm... I looked at the mail again and I cannot see where 8859-1 is
specified. It seems that context encoding is not specified at all.
Of course, it is incorrect to use non ASCII characters in a mail
without specifying encoding. Apparently, because I use utf-8 in the
terminal, the Sign-off line displays correctly for me, so I did not
notice the problem. Sorry for the noise...
