Your mail headers include this: Content-Transfer-Encoding: QUOTED-PRINTABLE Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=ISO-8859-1 but the mail body has this: It includes modifications as suggested by J. Bruce Fields, Karl Hasselstr=C3=B6m and Daniel Barkalow. (That's a two-byte sequence for a single character, which indicates utf8 and rules out latin1.) I guess the program that generates the e-mail (git-format-patch?) thinks it's getting latin1 input, when it's in fact getting utf8 input. This is the exact same error (or rather, the exact same symptom) that's happened once or twice the last week or so. -- Karl Hasselström, kha@xxxxxxxxxxx www.treskal.com/kalle - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
