Details:

Hello,

The email notification hook behind the Guix repositories incorrectly handles
non-ASCII commit author names.

See for instance:

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-commits/2018-01/msg00197.html
  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-commits/2018-01/msg00198.html
  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-commits/2018-01/msg00199.html
  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-commits/2018-01/msg00200.html
  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-commits/2018-01/threads.html

It also leads to invalid headers like this:

Mail-Followup-To:  "address@hidden, Ludovic Court"@savannah.gnu.org,
        "ès <address@hidden>"@savannah.gnu.org

Could it be that the notification hook is running in a non-UTF8 locale?

TIA,
Ludo'.
