Created attachment 8474439 eMail exhibiting the bug OK. This eMail contains a PGP message encrypted to 0xD1D8EFD2 whose public and secret (passphrase is 123123) key I also attached. I just confirmed with a coworker that this does exhibit the bug.

The other user, running Thunderbird or Kontact, (or my own Kontact instance in the “sent-mail” folder), gets the message and interprets the post-decryption body as ISO-8859-1 (or Windows-1252, probably) instead of UTF-8. Manually switching the encoding to Unicode in the menu corrects this… for this one message. (See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1108980 as well.) The problem here is that the human message encoding (everything within the PGP armour) must be separated from the transport message encoding (the RFC822 message in which the “-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE”…“END PGP MESSAGE-----” is transmitted) must be separated from each other, which they aren’t. Please fix this, it harms using those MUAs in an enterprise environment.
