Yup. Maybe a combo with how Pan encodes and your MUA?

(what puzzles me is from where it comes the ISO encoding for the "From:" 
line. My Pan client is configured to use UTF-8 :-?)

But Gmane cannot be the cause because I've always posted through it and 
you didn't get the bad character encoding problem when I sent the message 
using Icedove.

There has to be another mailing list users with accented characters in 
their names. Make a quick search on your MUA archive to check if 
experience the same. I've found some :-)
