I don't think it is rare because people will simply use all characters
found on their keyboard.

At least Frank has confirmed that it does fix it for him in
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general/50877>.  Could you
suggest a better fix?  Maybe we could bind enable-multibyte-characters
only in some of the callers of `pgg-gpg-start-process', where
appropriate?

As your patch just reverts this patch, I'd guess that it will
reintroduce the problem the other patch tried to solve.

Frank, could you try?  (Remove `default-enable-multibyte-characters'
from the function `pgg-gpg-start-process' in `pgg-gpg.el' and test
with a pass-prase containing non-ASCII characters.)

Bye, Reiner.
