No, I appreciate the complaint, I just don't know what to do about it--as far as I can tell, I've chosen utf-8 everywhere I can: my commits are in utf-8, and "locale" run from the shell reports everything as "en_US.UTF-8". But I suspect the problem is on my end somewhere--do I need to do something to make sure mail I send gets a header identifying it as utf-8 and not iso-8859-1? I'll investigate some more tonight if I get the chance; any advice welcomed.
