Yes, for people using the GIT email patch applying tools, it might do
that.  However I believe there are options to git-am and friends to
force it to put things into UTF-8.

I ran into some problems with encoding because I apply stuff by hand
using scripts I wrote.

But those problem won't happen any more for me.

I'm now saving the commit message and patch into files explicitly in
emacs, and verifying the coding (with "C-h C RET") and if it's wrong I
fix it before saving with "C-x RET f mule-utf-8"

Then I feed those into my patch applying scripts.
