+Hi all,\r
+\r
+as you can see below, my signature contains some non-ASCII characters,\r
+and it is stored as UTF-8 (I have `(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)` in my\r
+.emacs.el) in my home as ~/.signature.\r
+\r
+Recently I started using notmuch with Emacs as the main MUA, using\r
+message-mode to send emails. I'm *very* satisfied, BTW!\r
+\r
+Everything works great, except that when I "forward" an email message:\r
+in that case, the "*unsent mail*" buffer contains the original message\r
+within a "#mml" tag, followed by my signature, apparently appended as\r
+binary (e.g. instead of "vivrò" I see "vivr\303\262"). When I try to\r
+send it, I get the "Unreadable characters" prompt...\r
+\r
+I quickly inspected what notmuch-show-forward-message does, but AFAICT\r
+it does very little, delegating most of the work to message-mode: but\r
+doing the same from Gnus works ok, so I must be missing something.\r
+\r
+I also tried tweaking the message-default-charset, changing it from nil\r
+to utf-8, with the very same result.\r
+\r
+I'm using Emacs 24.4.51 compiled a few days ago, if that matters.\r
+\r
+Thank you for any hint,\r
+ciao, lele.\r
