I have opened https://sourceforge.net/p/logwatch/bugs/56/ .
I am working a test case for this right now.
As I see it, there are 3 paths to test.
Output as STDOUT, file, and email. In each case does an 8bit value (0x00..0xff
unsigned) result in a valid UTF-8 character.
Is binmode(STDOUT, ":utf8") needed? Does it fix the issue if it was needed?
