I'll send this one > out as UTF-8. Ahhah! That's it. Not my MUA, but I'm using fetchmail, and I have copied my .fetchmailrc file around for years. As a result, it has 'mimedecode' set, because pine used to be really bad at this and obviously all my original BK (and later git) email scripts didn't do mime decoding either. So what is probably happening is that my fetchmail setup dropped the charset information for the header (this is documented by fetchmail, so it's not a bug, it's just part of the rules) and just turned it into the raw byte sequence. I've turned off mimedecode, can you send another email to me (in private) to see if not doing that just fixes things? Linus
