It seems the problem is limited to the "From:" header field. But I don't
see any special character in your name so using "utf-8" or "iso-8859-15"
in your case shouldn't make any difference :-)

Dunno. What hapenned between Scott and my posts is very localized, I
guess... but know I think, I don't know if other mailings list users are
facing the same problem with my nickname.

Yep, but IMO using an "iso-" encoding is a step backwards ;-(
(I selected "iso-8859-1" for this e-mail, let's see if Scott sees any
difference or still the "black diamond" :-) )

I see it right.

System locale should not affect but MUA encoding selection and the e-mail
servers involved in posting handling, like Debian mailing list server or
Gmane (the gateway I use). Both make modifications on the posts to add
the corresponding headers or e-mail footers so the problem can be here.
