Hi, Sometimes I want to force a particular character set. Specifically, I send PGP mail by pasting ASCII armored encrypted GPG output into the editor brought up by comp(1)/repl(1). This ASCII armored text is entirely ASCII, even though the encrypted contents may be UTF-8. Thus the mail automatically gets sent with 'Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"' and the message looks garbled in the recipient's mail client (if it has integrated PGP decryption).
At first I thought I would add a 'Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"' header in my editor window. But that gets silently replaced with 'Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"' when I select "mime" or "send" at the whatnow(1) prompt. So instead I runn "mime" followed by "edit" at whatnow(1) and editing the Content-Type header manually to utf-8. Is there some way I can set nmh 1.6 to always send UTF-8 headers if the message is valid UTF-8, including pure ASCII? (I'm also open to better workflows for composing and replying to PGP-encrypted messages. But that deserves its own thread.) -- Anthony J.
