Viktor,
I agree with everything you say (though I do hope the story about
rebinding the y-key was a joke). Your patch is important for the
wide-spread use of PGP in non-english communication.
I just checked that with your patch, I can finally use Mutt to sign
messages in the iso-latin-1 charset in the traditional way and verify
it in Pine.
This is what I did exactly:
- - compose message in ISO-Latin-1
- - using Mutt/1.3.25 with
patch-1.3.15.sw.pgp-outlook.1
patch-1.3.24.vrr.force_traditional.1
- - sign traditionally inside Mutt calling GnuPG 1.0.6 with
force-v3-sigs set using RSA key
- - open message at work in Pine 4.44
- - message is successfully verified on opening
by PGP-aware display filters (selfmade) calling PGP 2.6.3ia
- - just to make shure: I can also verify the signature with GnuPG 1.0.6
by hitting ESC P in Mutt.
Latin-1 characters such as German Umlauts, sharp s and Franco-German
quotes like these: »äöüÄÖÜß« were still intact.
My test email had the header line, ``Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit''.
I don't know if there'll be problems if the message is transformed to
quoted/printable by an MTA. Would somebody else check that please?

I am not this person.
This Email is signed the same way as described above. So you can try
to verify it with whatever you use.
Cheers,
Cristian
