PGP/MIME is what mutt uses to send pgp-encrypted and -signed
messages. The idea is basically this: You take the message, then
MIME-encode it entirely. The result looks like this (for example):
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
This attachment contains umlauts: =E4=F6=FC=DF
Now, this entire MIME body part is encrypted/signed, and eventually
put into some more MIME sugar. Here, PGP only ever touches us-ascii
text (with which it deals nicely); the actual character set
conversions are left to the software which interprets the inner MIME
layers.
