I hit this kind of problem already, too.

My problem was that format-patch only adds MIME-Version and
Content-Type headers if the commit has non-ascii characters.  If I add a
S-o-b only after the format-patch step I easily forget to add the needed
headers.  IMHO the right fix is to let send-email stop if there is no
encoding related header in the mail but non-ascii characters.

Best regards
Uwe
