No. Just wanted to tell Doctor Who something in private without a
certain group member starting a whole flamewar over it.

Since posting I have learned that UTF-8 actually isn't an 8 bit
character set like ISO-8859-1 and quite a nightmare for an application
as PGP. You see: It really doesn't matter which character mapping you
use when clearsigning because character 0xe4 will map back to 0xe4 no
matter how you display it. UTF-8 is sometimes two bytes however, or even
more, which is likely to be a problem for RFC 1991 versions of PGP.
