Thanks for telling me what I did wrong.  I confirm I did what you
described, I still have the terminal open with the 2 questions git asked me:

$ git send-email --to trivial@...nel.org --cc
linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org 0001-MAINTAINERS-fix-UTF-8-encoding.patch
0001-MAINTAINERS-fix-UTF-8-encoding.patch
The following files are 8bit, but do not declare a
Content-Transfer-Encoding.
    0001-MAINTAINERS-fix-UTF-8-encoding.patch
Which 8bit encoding should I declare [UTF-8]? y

Send this email? ([y]es|[n]o|[q]uit|[a]ll): y


It is quite misleading to have both a "non-y" and a "yes/no" answer.
Now that I know this, I will try not to do the same error the next times
I send patches with both UTF-8 and iso-8859-15 characters.

Should I send the patch again with proper encoding?
