mailinfo: Do not use -u=<encoding>; say --encoding=<encoding>
Specifying the value for a single letter, single dash option parameter with equal sign looked funny, and more importantly calling the flag to override encoding from utf-8 to something else "-u" (obviously abbreviated from "utf-8") did not make any sense. So spell it out. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
