<p>I'd like to add my investigation of this problem. In fact when I
send a encrypted message (UTF-8 charset) to Outlook users (Win7
x64, Outlook 2010+Outlook Privacy Plugin v40) recipients receive
garbage in a text instead of non-ascii letters. I found out Outlook
Privacy Plugin requires additional text line in header of an
encrypted message body - "Charset: UTF-8". For example:<br></p>
<pre>
<code>-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----
Comment: GPGTools - https://gpgtools.org
Charset: UTF-8</code>
</pre>
<p>If I add the charset line manually the message looks correctly,
if don't I see a garbage.<br>
Do you have ideas how to make GPGTools and OutlookPP
compatible?</p>
<p>Thank you for support.</p></div>Alextag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/363692062015-04-02T14:49:49Z2015-06-25T10:43:17ZOther languages don't decode correctly for windows recipients<div><p>I'm informing you with pleasure that i have found solution. I
opened file /Users/%user name%/.gnupg/gpg.conf. Then I changed
comment line to:<br></p>
<pre>
<code>Comment GPGTools - https://gpgtools.org Charset: UTF-8</code>
</pre>
<p>Now message header includes "Charset: UTF-8". All non-ascii
messages look fine.<br>
Certainly Mail.app must send messages in UTF8 encoding. Thus I
changes mail default charset to UTF-8 (put the command in
terminal):<br>
defaults write com.apple.mail NSPreferredMailCharset utf-8</p>
<p>That's it.<br>

<p>if the mail client doesn't decode "ayn=C4=B1 =C5=9Fey" to
"aynı şey", so it's a bug in this software. Sadly not
every mail client or OpenPGP plugin works as it should.<br>
As you can see the charset is correctly set to utf-8 in the mail.
So there "should" be no reason to add "Charset: UTF-8" to the
Comment.<br>
But if it works for you, it's an acceptable workaround.</p>
