Public bug reported: Version: 1:31.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1
Hi, this is a bug Mozilla™ Thunderbird and KDEPIM share: When I send an Inline PGP encrypted message, whose body is using UTF-8, to another user, the message is ASCII armoured (and thus 7bit). The other user, running Thunderbird or Kontact, (or my own Kontact instance in the “sent-mail” folder), gets the message and interprets the post- decryption body as ISO-8859-1 (or Windows-1252, probably) instead of UTF-8. Manually switching the encoding to Unicode in the menu corrects this… for this one message. (See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1108980 as well.) The problem here is that the human message encoding (everything within the PGP armour) must be separated from the transport message encoding (the RFC822 message in which the “-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE”…“END PGP MESSAGE-----” is transmitted) must be separated from each other, which they aren’t. Please fix this, it harms using those MUAs in an enterprise environment. ** Affects: thunderbird (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: kdepim (Debian) Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #754265 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=754265 ** Also affects: kdepim (Debian) via http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=754265 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1357227 Title: broken charset/encoding autodetection for encrypted messages Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “kdepim” package in Debian: Unknown Bug description: Version: 1:31.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 Hi, this is a bug Mozilla™ Thunderbird and KDEPIM share: When I send an Inline PGP encrypted message, whose body is using UTF-8, to another user, the message is ASCII armoured (and thus 7bit).
