Package: mini-dinstall
Version: 0.6.25
Severity: minor

Hello Christoph,

mini-dinstall sends emails without a charset. The default default charset in 
Debian
is UTF-8 so setting it to UTF-8 would solve this bug.

As an example:

Package: drm-snapshot
Maintainer: Debian X Strike Force <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Changed-By: NoÚl Köthe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Changes:
....

The fields Changes-By and Changes are taken from the debian/changelog where the 
charset
can be ASCII or UTF-8:

http://bugs.debian.org/453954

If the charset is not set the email client will display the email in ASCII 
which will
be broken, when there are non-ASCII characters in the Uploaders/Maintainers 
name or in
the changelog entry.

Thank you.
