I was running GnuPG 1 on OSX 10.9.2, installed via the instructions here (http://macgpg.sourceforge.net/docs/howto-build-gpg-osx.txt.asc), with Enigmail. This was working fine.
Then I tried to install and use MacGPG2 (via the gpgtools.org suite). This installs fine and can see my keys. However I can't get it to work with Enigmail.
First, Enigmail doesn't automatically recognise the location of MacGPG2 (fixed this by overriding the default location to point to the MacGPG2 gpg-agent binary). Enigmail now reports finding GnuPG.
However, when I try to send an email I get an "encryption command failed" error. Checking the console shows:

gpg-agent[483]: invalid option "--charset"
Any suggestions how to fix this?
Thanks
The gpg tool to use is not gpg-agent (which is only a helper tool), but gpg2 or gpg (i.e. /usr/local/MacGPG2/bin/gpg2).
Ah ha. That was silly of me. Thanks Patrick.
