This name is pulled from /etc/passwd, so I have a feeling if it IS screwed up, it may be a problem with how I entered it in that file.
Can anyone see it properly? Is it an encoding/font issue with my browser, or a problem in /etc/passwd ?
Basically, everything should be done in UTF8 nowadays. However, it also has to be ensured that you have UTF8 enabled when reading the commit message and that whatever sends the mails specifies UTF8 as charset in the header. BTW, I'd like to have the ä in my last name in my passwd entry please :)
