Hmm... Presumably, that's set in your muttrc via 'set realname="..."', 
right? My first guess would be that you need to tell mutt what charset 
you've encoded the muttrc file in (it assumes ascii unless you set 
config_charset to something). You'll need to set the config_charset 
before mutt reads any non-ascii characters (i.e. before you set 
realname).

The subject? You mean your *From* header, right?

My guess is that gmail is better at guessing malformed headers. 
Guessing malformed headers is an *artform*, and mutt isn't the best 
guesser in the world.
