When I send a Wikipedia-Userpage-Email on the German
Wikipedia,
instead of
"äöü" i get something like "=E4 =D6" and the "Sender" is
empty or has
strange content.
On the english Wikipedia it works.
I guess, it is just on option to be set on the server.
I'm not able to reproduce the problem; =E4 =D6 etc is the normal MIME
"quoted-printable" encoding, and the message seems to be correctly
marked up and displays correctly in my mailer (Apple Mail). Here's the
raw source of my test message to myself, sent through
de.wikipedia.org:
