Package: cron
Version: 3.0pl1-99
Severity: normal

See also:  #309150: cron: Add CHARSET special variable

Etch default is utf-8.

However, mails sent by cron using MAILTO does not set 
Content/type: text/html; charset=utf-8

So mails are not readable with thunderbird on another computer.

This might be done with the -a option from mail, if mail command is
used:
     -a      Specify additional header fields on the command line such
     as "X-Loop: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" etc.  You have
                  to use quotes if the string contains spaces.  This
                  argument may be specified more than once,
                               the headers will then be concatenated.

In my humble opinion, this is a bug, not a missing feature.
