When I send a mail it uses gpg to sign it but the company I'm sending to can't handle gpg --charset utf8 well I know that they are the one to blame here but in this case I have to remove it or use another charset when sending sign/encrypted stuff. how can I do that in an easy way?

I think the problem is that inline PGP does not support "foreign" character sets. Have you tried enabling PGP/MIME? This should work as it creates an html mail and sends it signed or encrypted as a file rather than as "scrambled text"

The "--charset utf8" parameter just tells GnuPG how to print data like key information, it has nothing to do with the content you encrypt or sign. The parameter only serves to enable Enigmail to interpret status messages and key lists correctly.

I think Adam is right, you should try PGP/MIME, but be aware that some mail clients can't handle PGP/MIME at all.
