Sometimes I want to force a particular character set. Specifically, I send PGP mail by pasting ASCII armored encrypted GPG output into the editor brought up by comp(1)/repl(1).
And that's your problem. To pass along character set info you need to use the correct MIME structure. What you want is a top-level multipart/encrypted wrapping an application/pgp-encrypted containing a text/plain with the appropriate character set attributes attached to it. RFC1847 defines multipart/encrypted. RFC3156 documents application/pgp-encrypted. While you might be able to torture nmh into generating this directly, save your sanity and write something outside of nmh that builds the encrypted message for you. I'm sure a few minutes with duckduckgo will turn up a boatload of scripts that solve this exact problem. --lyndon
