Please use unicode (well utf-8 if possible), I'm all for that, there is
no requirement to use ascii only for your name in patches. I wish more
people would do that when needed, as it's only fair to them to be able
to properly represent their names and not have to change them somehow.
I tried it and it seems that www.spinics.net understand UTF-8 but at
marc.info it doesn't work correctly.

It seems that this page don't send correct encoding to web browser so
Firefox uses windows-1252 and insted of capital S with caron I can see A
with ring. Similarily insted of I with acute accent the browser shows A
with tilda... it looks horible. And even if I force UTF8 encoding for view,
it corrects mail From but my name at Signed-off-by line stays damaged.
So UTF-8 seems be a bad idea for kernel mailling list.
