And neither you run Windows 2000 nor use a non-english charset :-)
Fortunately, the problem seems to have nothing to do with XEmacs. It
happens when I try to sign a message with an encoding different from
us-ascii (encryption is working fine as well as the us-ascii messages
signing). Here is an example:

(1) Non-signed message would be

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=koi8-r
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

(koi8-r is Cyrillic 8-bit encoding like European cp1250. Everything else is
not interesting)

(2) Signed message created by gpg.el

As you see, Content-Transfer-Encoding is incorrect: original koi8-r text is
really base64-encoded, but everything else is quoted-printable. So we have
the broken message...

Hope to hear from you soon,
