I'm not a send-mail user myself, so I did not ever have any reason to dive into its source code. Sorry. I understand your pain. But as we assume UTF-8 in git if no other encoding is selected, I think it makes more sense to default to UTF-8. That said, I actually like the behaviour which I think is intended, to not specify anything when the message can be interpreted as US-ASCII. BTW I tried to find anything in the message you referenced which would make it non-ASCII, but I did not find anything. But then, I am not subscribed to the lkml, and can only get stripped down versions of the mails via marc or kerneltrap. Any send-email gurus want to join into this discussion?
