Huh? Your mail included no non-ascii characters so using us-ascii is
just fine. Which encoding your mail has doesn't need to be dictated by
the encoding your system uses. My own system is utf-8 since a long time,
but mails are always sent out in the "smallest" encoding (us-ascii,
latin1, utf-8 ... in that ordeR)
Thats actually quite common among good mail clients.
