Not that this is any great surprise, but I can reproduce this as well.  
I sent myself the following message:

*snip*
This is a test:

�, �, �, �, � 
�, �, �, �, �	CTRL+` (ACCENT GRAVE), the letter
�, �, �, �, �, �
�, �, �, �, �, �	CTRL+' (APOSTROPHE), the letter
�, �, �, �, �
�, �, �, �, �	CTRL+SHIFT+^ (CARET), the letter
�, �, �
�, �, �	CTRL+SHIFT+~ (TILDE), the letter
�, �, �, �, �, � 
�, �, �, �, �, �	CTRL+SHIFT+: (COLON), the letter
�, �	CTRL+SHIFT+@, a or A
�, �	CTRL+SHIFT+&, a or A
�, �	CTRL+SHIFT+&, o or O
�, �	CTRL+, (COMMA), c or C
�, �	CTRL+' (APOSTROPHE), d or D
�, �	CTRL+/, o or O
�	ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+?
�	ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+!
�	
*snip*

At the end I got several =3D symbols.  PMMail complains "ascii armor 
input incomplete", and yet it decodes the message completely.  When I 
erase the 3D part, there is no error.  I imagine this is a teeth-
grindingly frustrating situation for those who use umlauts.

PGP within PMMail has never worked for me.  I use it primarily when 
sending and receiving via nym.alias.net.  The messages sent to me are 
encoded first with a "PGP Conventional Encryption" wrapper (which 
PMMail doesn't support), then encoded inside with PGP RSA-type 
encryption.  I have resorted to using PGP Tray to decode my message.  
Is it possible to add "Conventional Encryption" support to PMMail at 
least?

Dave
