I don't particularly like the idea that mutt goes deeper and deeper
into the meaning of what tidbits of information PGP ASCII armor has
available. But then again, we already decipher dash-encoded
cleartext signatures.
Basically, I think that this should be GPG's job. My preferred
approach would be to tell gpg to convert things to UTF-8, and be
done with that.
Werner, how about including that as a command line option? Shouldn't
be so difficult.
