anacron mail encoding

[Malte Forkel <malte.forkel@berlin.de>]

Hi,

I'm using anacron for some tasks on a machine running Lenny. Error
output from those jobs send by email looks strange in Thunderbird.

Mails send by cron supposedly respect the locale and include a content
type header, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=405335
(cron does not send mail with good encoding) and
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=410057 (cron should
send email with UTF-8 charset as it's default in Etch).

But mail from anacron seems to be lacking the proper header (something
like Content/type: text/html; charset=utf-8) and therefor looks strange
in Thunderbird until I force it to use the UTF-8 encoding?

Should my analysis be correct, how can I get anacron to add the proper
header?

Thanks, Malte
