in order to fix this bug for stretch (next Debian stable release), I
will upload a version of logwatch that reverts the change from
iso-8859-1 to utf-8 for mails sent by logwatch. This is not my preferred
way to fix this issue, but any better fix I can imagine will require
some new configuration options, which I don't want to introduce in
Debian before they are committed upstream.
