for some reasons /since some time portage sends me now QA mails like this : QA Notice: Package triggers severe warnings which indicate that it may exhibit random runtime failures. geoconcept.c:2453:7:

There are lots of character set encoding issues to consider here: 1) What encoding is the original message? 2) What encoding is the email content? 3) Is your email client using the correct encoding to decode the message? 4) What encoding is your elog reader (text editor, pager, etc..) using to decode the log in /var/log/portage/elog? Your locale setting (LANG variable) probably has a role in this, so what is that? Also, please attach the raw email message as it was delivered to your email client.
what is the Content-Type: header of the emails that look garbled
Created attachment 289087 [details] mbox mail tfoerste@n22 ~ $ echo $LANG en_US.utf8
Created attachment 289089 [details] elog file tfoerste@n22 ~ $ echo $LANG en_US.utf8 tfoerste@n22 ~ $ env | grep ^LC tfoerste@n22 ~ $
well - it seems to be a problem with KMail1 to set the correct encoding font utf8 (but it worked in the past and I didn't upgraded it)
here is the problem: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I'm not sure what sends the email, but if it's Python smtp lib or something, I bet the Content-Type has to be set explicitly according to the environment, UTF-8 in your case.
Created attachment 289173 [details, diff] with python2, call MIMEText.set_charset("UTF-8") Hopefully this will fix it. Save as /tmp/mimetext_charset.patch, and apply as follows: patch /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage/mail.py /tmp/mimetext_charset.patch
(In reply to comment #7) > Hopefully this will fix it. yes :-)
Thanks for testing. This is in git now: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=e606fa6e8c23bff65618d73dfc19b8dd301460e1
This is fixed in 2.1.10.24 and 2.2.0_alpha64.
