Oh, it's not just Andrew.

Git will fix up commit messages etc, but the actual *patch* will be
considered just "data". So if you send me Latin1 (like you did), I get
a patch with Latin1.

Please just fix your broken mail environment, and move to the current
century. Use a real utf-8 locale.

You seem to be using Mutt. Afaik, that should automatically honor your
locale, and use utf-8,

But maybe you have it trying to send in Latin1 by default if that
works. Just do something like

    set file_charset="utf-8:iso-8859-1"

to make utf-8 the preferred format.
