Here in your mail, your chars are good, and show up perfectly in my
Mutt 1.4 on a latin-1 terminal. What's strange is that they were in
UTF-8 instead of simple latin-1 charset, what would have been
sufficient. Perhaps you have a bad $send_charset, or perhaps that's
simply the way 1.5.1 produces traditional PGP when there are any
non-Ascii chars.

You mean 2 chars as "ä"? This is the sort of things you see when
you look raw an UTF-8 char on a latin-1 terminal without decoding.
Surely a config problem at your friend, I'd say probably a $charset or
iconv problem, but that needs further investigations.
Just made an experiment here breaking my iconv setup (declared silly
$charset): got your "scands" mangled in the way you describe.

Well, yes and no.
Yes, the uml^Wscands show up well, and thanks to the CT parameter
"x-action=pgp-signed" Mutt knows automatically it must be PGP verified.
But no, the signature is bad in my 1.4:
| [-- PGP output follows -- sam 03 ao� 2002 23:08:52 CEST --]
| gpg: Signature made sam 03 ao� 2002 15:43:47 CEST using DSA key ID 1410081E
| gpg: BAD signature from "Jussi Ekholm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
| GPG RETURN VALUE = 1
| [-- End of PGP output -- BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE --]
...the same mail is good verified with stock 1.5.1:
| [-- PGP output follows (current time: sam 03 ao� 2002 23:10:17 CEST) --]
| gpg: Signature made sam 03 ao� 2002 15:43:47 CEST using DSA key ID 1410081E
| gpg: Good signature from "Jussi Ekholm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
| GPG RETURN VALUE = 0
|
| [-- End of PGP output --]
|
| [-- BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE --]
...and is also good outside Mutt:
| $ gpg --verify /tmp/test-Jussi.eml
| gpg: Signature made sam 03 ao� 2002 15:43:47 CEST using DSA key ID 1410081E
| gpg: Good signature from "Jussi Ekholm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
That's strange... All your other mails verify good in 1.4, but 2.
The 2 only containing non-Ascii chars (both UTF-8). A bug in 1.4? Or a
bug in my heavily patched 1.4 setup? Someone else?
Bye! Alain "long" Bench.
