[Bug 1104124] [NEW] thunderbird changes character encoding of message when signing

Thu Jan 24 15:35:16 UTC 2013

Public bug reported:

When composing a message, everything is fine. I write some text like this one:
---
Este mensaje te llega bien? o te llega con los tíldes mal?
árbol, verán.... mádre que lo parió... :)
---

Then when i hit send, it signs the message and sets up the ASCII
markings ---- BEGIN OF PGP SIGNED MESSAJE ----- and so... and then the
body of the message transforms to this one.

----
Este mensaje te llega bien? o te llega con los t￭ldes mal?
￡rbol, ver￡n.... m￡dre que lo pari￳...)
----

Is this a bug? When i send this message it appears fine in the Sent
folder... and i tried to send messages for myself and in thunderbird it
looks allright too. But i send to my wife that she use Evolution mail
and it shows with the strange characters. The same characters that
Thunderbird shows when it is signing the message.

Any ideas?

Best Regards,
