Title:
  Wrong charset in emails

Status in “unattended-upgrades” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: unattended-upgrades

  The emails sent by version 0.62ubuntu1 are localized, but the encoding
  is wrong, at least for the german translation. MTA in use is postfix
  2.8.1-1~maverick1, /usr/bin/mail is provided by bsd-mailx
  8.1.2-0.20100314cvs-1

  In the subject, the german umlaut "ü" is encoded as quoted printable =C3=BC which is UTF-8, but the encoding is erroneously specified to be ISO-8859-1.
  There is no charset specified for the body, but it's encoded as UTF-8 too. (not quoted printable, but 8-bit)
