Both are setup to use utf-8 when necessary. The mail was sent with
latin1 since all characters could be displayed using this encoding and
that is how the mail is shown in my sent mailbox.

Besides, this configuration works on many lists flawlessly and has been
tested to support utf-8 and latin1/9 encoding without problems on many
different occasions.

Don't ask me, ask the guys at google. They mangle the mails and break
it.
