When receiving comment notification mails with UTF-8 specific characters, my mail program displays them as ISO 8859-1. E.g., a comment on https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/acroread/ contains

"Alas³ - still no love."

It is displayed in my mail program as

"Alas³ - still no love."

My mail program is claws-mail 3.9.3-1.

I think this issue is resolved by sending a Content-type header indicating the message is in UTF-8.
