Here are the results:
Using GnuPG v.1.4.11 with 40tude-dialog as client charset must be iso-8859-1
or -15 to shows correct umlauts
Using GnuPG v.1.4.11 with Thunderbird as client charset must be utf-8 to
show correct umlauts

Using GnuPG v.2.0.16 using all possible charsets, 40tude shows correct
umlauts, but Thunderbird always shows questionmarks instead of german
umlauts
