Bjorn, maybe you can send Catalin an example mbox?
Attaching the one I used above.
Heh. That's a mess. 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.
Yes, looks like it.
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.
The mailer I used was just "git send-email" and I just confirmed with
hexdump that my .gitconfig contains the name in utf-8.
And when I use "git format-patch" the resulting file contains the name
in utf-8 as well.
So, no idea when that got translated to latin1.

Christian.
