I'm not editing my mailbox, but I am using stgit.  The "From:" header
uses encoded-word syntax for Christian's name, and I think stgit is
not decoding that when applying the patch.

When I save the patch email message from mutt (or gmail, for that
matter), I see:

  From: "=?UTF-8?q?Christian=20K=C3=B6nig?="  ...

Applying that patch with "git am" results in the correct

  Author: Christian König <ckoenig.leichtzumerken@...il.com

Applying the identical patch with "stg import -M" results in

  Author: =?UTF-8?q?Christian=20K=C3=B6nig?= <ckoenig.leichtzumerken@...il.com>

Some of Christian's PCI patches came out OK (8bb705e3e79d,
276b738deb5b, cb21bc9469c4).  I don't remember specifically, but I
suspect I fixed those manually.

I don't know if there's some stg configuration I could do to fix this.
I looked a little bit but haven't found anything yet.

Thanks for pointing this out.  I'll try to fix this one way or another
in the future.
