Package: sympa
Version: 6.1.23~dfsg-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

As reported in sympa's bug tracker as bug #10573
(see https://sourcesup.renater.fr/tracker/?aid=10573)

When sending an email as PGP/Mime from Thunderbird+Enigmail, sympa
breaks a line differently than the quoted-printable in Thunderbird,
leading to different line-lengths and a broken PGP signature:

(If an intermediate MTA breaks the examples, the bug report at sympa.org
has unbroken ones.)

The source of the mail sent from Thunderbird looks like this, between '---':

---
1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123=
4567890

The source in sympa's archive and sent from sympa looks like this, between
'---':

---
123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345=
67890
---

Note "123=" versus "12345=" and "4567890" versus "67890".

RFC3156 states that "Multipart/signed and multipart/encrypted are to be
treated by agents as opaque, meaning that the data is not to be altered
in any way."

That the signature is correct is important to our security team when
they report security issues to other security teams.

The same problem affects S/Mime.

Upstream reported that newer sympas, 6.2.x and on, "probably may not
break them" and to try 6.2.x, which does not have a debian package.

You have backported fixes from 6.2 before, can you do it in this case or
make a package for 6.2?
