Yes, you're correct, thanks for your persistence.

The others--I don't remember. I'll take a quick look. If you want to be sure they'll all be considered, you could update the patch and resend.

Hm. I still see

	Content-Type:   text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

Note how the "é" is encoded with only one byte this time, like it's supposed to in latin1.
