amazon mail charset fail

Amazon can’t pick a charset in their order emails. I bought an MP3 album by The Crüxshadows (let’s not discuss that right now, or ever). Here’s part of the email:

------=_Part_10851441_1164149591.1346373530449
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
...
<meta http-equiv=3D"Content-Type" content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1">
...
The Cr=C3=BCxshadows

Yes, it’s quoted printable and it is utf-8. So why is there a meta tag saying it’s latin-1? End result? This shit: The Crüxshadows
