While you can't force it on other people, you can elect to do it
yourself. If you're sending or receiving text that uses anything other
than 7-bit clean US ASCII characters, character encodings and
inline-PGP-encryption are going to be an unresolvable issue. :(
PGP/MIME works because it explicitly embeds the character encoding of
the cleartext inside the protected MIME part, so it cannot get out of
sync the way that inline PGP does.
