So .mailmap isn't usable either. Argh. Btw, your mailer really is broken. It seems to have turned my correct utf-8 email into US-ASCII. Or at least it was correct when it came back to me. I don't see the corruption. But your mailer seems to be unable to handle any complex character sets and did X-Mailer: Sylpheed 2.4.8 (GTK+ 2.12.5; x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII and I wonder why? Yeah, I feel superior, because alpine actually gets things right these days. I too used to be character-set-confused. Linus
