I can reproduce with: git init echo foo >file && git add file && git commit -m foo echo 'exit 0' >.git/hooks/sendemail-validate chmod +x .git/hooks/sendemail-validate git send-email --dry-run --to='pëff <peff@xxxxxxxx>' -1 Note that the bug will only trigger if Email::Valid is installed. I think this is the same issue being discussed elsewhere. The call to process_address_list() sanitizes it to use rfc2047 encoding, which is necessary for it to be syntactically valid. So the patch to move the validation later in the process here: https://lore.kernel.org/git/ee56c4df-e030-45f9-86a9-94fb3540db60@xxxxxxx/ fixes it. -Peff
