Yesterday I created a commit in git, used git format-patch to create a patch and finally sent this patch as an email via mutt, using mutt -H <patch>. Somewhere along this chain my name, that contains an '', got messed up. I need to find out where it got messed up and how to fix it.This is my commit using git show <commit> (with some changes for privacy):commit xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxAuthor: Name Sandstrm <my@email.com>Date:   Thu Jan 26 21:41:08 2017 +0100    [...]Output of the file produced by git format-patch HEAD^:From xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001From: =?UTF-8?q?Name=20Sandstr=C3=B6m?= <my@email.com>Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2017 21:41:08 +0100Subject: <commit subject>MIME-Version: 1.0Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bitAfter executing mutt -H <patch> and entering to and subject, mutt opens vim with this:From: =?UTF-8?q?Name=20Sandstr=C3=B6m?= <my@email.com>To: <to address>Cc: Bcc: Subject: <subject>Reply-To: [...]If I send this email to someone that uses e.g. Gmail, my name will show as =?UTF-8?q?Name=20Sandstr=C3=B6m?= in the web ui, and not Name Sandstrm which I expect.I've tried both with having the mutt option send_charset unset and with having it set to us-ascii:utf-8, but the name still looks like above. The only difference I see is that the raw email contains Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 when having send_charset unset and Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 when having send_charset set to us-ascii:utf-8.How do I solve this? Who is doing something wrong here? git, mutt, Gmail or me?Edit: I'm using:Mutt 1.5.23git version 2.11.0Edit: It seems as if mutt is doing something wrong. mutt 1.7.1 seems to successfully decode my name.
