Hmm, is there any way to guard against a false positive identification of
an "old" message that just happens to start with such a line? I can't
think of any off the top of my head...
I do not think so. Well you could put additional information in the signature
that will identify it as a cleartext signature following rfc4880bis and only
then handle the charset header. But I think that would overcomplicate it.
I do not think that a false positivie would not hurt much. PGP Inline charset
handling is basically guessing so a false positive would just be a false
guess.
And I think that if someone today signs a message that says
Charset: XYZ
And then continues with some text in another charset it would be weird anyway.
Don't get me wrong, I *do* see the good things about your proposal.
Thanks!
Best Regards,
Andre
