This is painful, your patch arrives with this header:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=y
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

When I try to apply it git am says:

$ git am --signoff geert1.patch
fatal: cannot convert from y to UTF-8

Wut? I never heard of an encoding named "y", and SMTP is
not my strongest subject anyway.

This UTF-8 business i becoming a subject for this years kernel
summit as I see the same thing with a few fellow german and
Swedish contributors appearing using our funny diacritics
ÃÃÃÃÃÃÃÃÃÃ

Yeah well even à at some time IIRC...
