If you have special characters in your patch/cover, git send-email will
prompt you to declare a encoding. The message is something like:

| The following files are 8bit, but do not declare a Content-Transfer-Encoding.
| 0000-cover-letter.patch
| Which 8bit encoding should I declare [UTF-8]?

It's very easy to assume that pressing y to accept UTF-8 is the right
thing to do, rather than pressing enter for the default.
