Package: alpine Version: 2.11+dfsg1-1 Severity: normal Hi,
I have this in my .pinerc: | posting-character-set=UTF-8 However, when sending an eMail that only contains ASCII characters, alpine sends the message with these headers instead: […] | User-Agent: Alpine 2.11 (DEB 23 2013-08-11) | MIME-Version: 1.0 | Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII This may be correct, but the message body, in this case, is the result of piping through “gpg -seatr r.ec...@ent.addre.ss” which means it’s an ASCII-armoured PGPv4 message. Other PGP-capable MUAs (wrongly) use the MIME content-type even for Inline PGP messages, and thus display the result badly. PGP itself does not indicate an encoding if it’s UTF-8 (only for nōn-default things like latin9), but even if I indicate an encoding in the PGP pseudo-header, it’s not used. Please fix alpine to honour the posting-character-set instead of downgrading to ASCII, possibly with a new option (since I can understand wanting to have the downgrade case if one is communicating with ancient nōn-Unicode-capable systems).
