#3728: unable to view encrypted multipart attachments
-------------------------------------------------+-------------------------

Component: crypto | Version: 1.5.23

multipart/encrypted |
-------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
Sometimes, I receive e-mails that are (at least partly) encrypted and that
included attachments. I am not able to view those attachments. So, when I
open the message I see:
{{{
[-- Attachment #1 --]
[-- Type: multipart/encrypted, Encoding: 7bit, Size: 1.9M --]
[...]
[-- The following data is PGP/MIME encrypted --]
[-- Attachment #1 --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Encoding: quoted-printable, Size: 1.2K --]
[...]
[-- Attachment #2: column.pdf --]
[-- Type: binary/octet-stream, Encoding: base64, Size: 1.9M --]
[-- binary/octet-stream is unsupported (use 'v' to view this part) --]
[-- End of PGP/MIME encrypted data --]
[-- Attachment #2 --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Encoding: 7bit, Size: 0.1K --]
}}}
The MIME-structure is:
{{{
- multipart/mixed
- multipart/encrypted
- application/pgp-encrypted
- application/octet-stream
- multipart/mixed
- text/plain
- binary/octet-stream
- text/plain
}}}
So, in order to view the attachments, I press "v" and I'll see this:
{{{
I 1 <no description> [multipa/encrypted, 7bit,
1.9M]
I 2 <no description> [text/plain, 7bit, us-ascii,
0.1K]
}}}
In other words:
{{{
- multipart/mixed
- multipart/encrypted
- text/plain
}}}
The issue: I am unable to select the multipart/encrypted container,
descent into it and get to select, view or save any of the sub-containers
(e.g. the PDF that is in "binary/octet-stream").
This issue was discussed briefly at
[http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.mail.mutt.user/41585 the mutt-users].
As a work-around I am saving the multipart/encrypted container to a file,
then manualy use gpg and openssl on the commandline to remove the GPG and
Base64 encryption.
