The content of that was UTF-8 encoded; the transport message body contained an ASCII-armoured PGP message. Actual results: The Thunderbird user got the message interpreted as ISO-8859-1 or Windows-1252, instead of UTF-8. This was also reported as: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1357227 This means the automatic detection of UTF-8 is broken, and/or the encoding of the RFC822 transport container is mixed up with the encoding of the message. Manually selecting Unicode from the message encoding menu, the message is displayed correctly. Switching away from the message and back to it causes the setting to reset; this was also reported as: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1108980 Expected results: The user should have seen the Unicode characters in the message correctly, instead of mojibake.

The other user, running Thunderbird or Kontact, (or my own Kontact instance in the “sent-mail” folder), gets the message and interprets the post-decryption body as ISO-8859-1 (or Windows-1252, probably) instead of UTF-8. Manually switching the encoding to Unicode in the menu corrects this… for this one message. (See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1108980 as well.) The problem here is that the human message encoding (everything within the PGP armour) must be separated from the transport message encoding (the RFC822 message in which the “-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE”…“END PGP MESSAGE-----” is transmitted) must be separated from each other, which they aren’t. Please fix this, it harms using those MUAs in an enterprise environment.
