The file you sent is ISO-8859-1 encoded. Re-encoding was done by your
mutt client, I think.

This is because you probably have ISO-8859-1(5) in send_charset in
mutt...

mutt treats PO files by defaults as text files, just like the body of
your mails and thus takes the responsibility to re-encode them (booo).

The best solution to this is either sending PO files gzipped or add
this in ~/.mime.types:

application/x-gettext po

And that in ~/.mailcap:

application/x-gettext;cat %s;nametemplate=%s.po;copiousoutput

Pretty crude solution but that seems to be the only way to tell mutt:
"don't ever think about reencoding those files when you send them,
dude...."
