Yes, but that's because you pasted an encoded mail header into your reply. I 
normally only read mail headers in an MUA where they are displayed properly. 
Are you saying this is how it looks in git as well?

Which means I have to configure Emacs specially for writing certain files. 
It's a pain that in a system invented in the last ten years (git) UTF-8 is 
still a second-class citizen. There are plenty of other Unicode characters I 
might like to use, most of which I can ASCIIfy, but I had thought we'd 
pretty much reached the end of that particular tedious limitation.
