Mailscanner doesn't add charset when adding signature

[Julian Field]

<x-flowed>
Have you seen this option:

# What character set do you want to use for the attachment that
# replaces viruses (VirusWarning.txt)?
# The default is "us-ascii" but if you speak anything other than
# English, you will probably want "ISO-8859-1" instead.
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
Attachment Encoding Charset = us-ascii

Does it help you at all?
