Mutt half-recently began to force outgoing traditional inline PGP
messages to UTF-8, disregarding the $send_charset list (in fact acting
as if $send_charset="us-ascii:utf-8"). This change was done to improve
interoperability, but can unfortunately reduce it in some cases. It is
not configurable. And Muttng is based on most recent CVS Mutt.
Takashi Takizawa has done a patch to allow other charsets in inline
PGP mails. Look at <URL:http://www.emaillab.org/mutt/download15.html.en>
for it.

Which ones exactly? How do they behave?

If your system locale is correct, which is preferable, you could
remove this statement. GnuPG will automagically deduce the charset from
whatever the current locale is.
Bye! Alain.
