It has Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 but then the name in the body is actually Latin1-encoded if I read it correctly. Git will auto-convert invalid utf-8 by assuming it is latin1, so it all ends up working, but Christian did something wrong in his mailer too. I suspect that the reason stgit screws up is the quoting of the name: From: "=?UTF-8?q?Christian=20K=C3=B6nig?=" <ckoenig.leichtzumerken@xxxxxxxxx> maybe stgit thinks that quoting means "no charset translation". But I'll leave it to Catalin & co to figure out. The last stgit commit was just a few days ago, so it seems to be maintained. Bjorn: it might be worth it trying to the very latest stgit: git://repo.or.cz/stgit.git because there are _some_ locale changes in there. Linus
