I use Enigmail Thunderbird addon to sign/encrypt my e-mails for a while, but i found a "bug" (feature) when I encrypt messages.
In my email, I use some specials characters like 'é', 'à', etc... (French), GPG encrypt the mail and send it. But when someone decrypt it with the gpg command line tool, all this special characters are replaced by "=2D",etc.. I encode my e-mails whith utf-8 or latin-1XXX, but it's always the same.
Is there a configuration line that I missed in either gpg, enigmail or thunderbird ?
Thanks

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Non-ASCII-characters are a wide field. If you send encrypted E-Mails, then enigmail takes care of handling.
If, however, one decrypts on command line, this handling has to be done manually. It also depends on the operating system of the decrypter and its settings, so I cannot give you a general advice.
