Hi,

Thanks for the bug report!

>   From: =?UTF-8?Q?Ludovic_Court=E8s?= <ludo@gnu.org>

This MIME encoded word is incorrectly encoded. UTF-8 is declared as the
encoding, while actually ISO-8859-1 has been used.

Yes, this is the correct encoding.

Indeed, the substitute conversion strategy is the only correct way to
proceed. I've made this change and pushed to master.

I'm ok with having another bugfix release, but I think we should wait a
week or two in case more bugs are found. WDYT?

Regards,
Arun.
