Ah, that would be it.  (And mail(1) is hardly a mail daemon :-)

Rather than assuming malice, you may assume that I was trying to fix
something when I made that change.  The old mailx mangled UTF-8
content.  The easiest way around this is to use /usr/bin/bsd-mailx
rather than just mail.  I believe it just does the right thing wrt
content-type now, so just dropping -a should fix it.
