The git config step from the git usage page also should help: 

git config --global format.headers "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"utf-8\""

That is, it makes sure git sends email in UTF8.  Frédéric Demians discovered this and I think I picked it up when Galen blogged it.

Hi Jesse - Thanks for the notice.

So, what do we need to do going forward to make sure that it is done right?

Thanks,

Unfortunately, this is something that would vary a lot, depending on which operating system and editor was used.

Vim/Linux seems to autodetect that it is UTF-8 and edits and saves it correctly. (This is where I originally saw the problem; some latin-1 encoded text near the bottom of the sysprefs script was breaking the autodetection.)

I think as long as any other editor were set to save the file as UTF-8, everything would be okay.

Sincerely,
