Bug#334206: mozilla-enigmail not decrypting messages

Hash: SHA1

I feel a need to add to this bug:

| currently there is no way to fix this. So if you want decryption you
| have to allow to load remote images :( ... for now.

Recently I got a very annoying web bug contaminated newsletter.

While analyzing that matter I found several spam mails containing web
bugs as a means to verify my email address.

Both incidents show how important it is to not allow remote images.  So
this isn't a viable option.

Will this issue be solved some day?  What about etch?

While we're at it -- this bug may not be RC but it surely is reproducible...

No.  AFAIR it was fixed pretty fast in Gentoo and therefore I didn't see 
a need to.  And it seems to be fixed in Debian with yesterdays update 
anyway.

Ok, this is a viable workaround for you and me, but is it OK for 
everybody?  I have enough difficulties to have others sign their 
messages at all...




- narrowing view via Subject or Recipient contains
- traversal between mboxes

I no nothing about those issues, maybe you can explain them?


These aren't enigmail issues.  Just try these functions, but make sure 
you don't just switch between mboxes but actually open mails within 
these mboxes.  Maybe you first have to try to decrypt a pgp/mime mail...

All looks like this gets a hard-wired in mozilla 1.7.13 or maybe one release
later. So lets live with it for now.

Are there bugs posted for those issues? Please use separate bugs so such
info does not get lost and gets documented in a proper context.

Thanks

cannot reproduce this. Maybe pressing decrypt button manually helps?


That doesn't work as the whole message is seen as containing nothing but 
attachments.


I can decrypt the attachment to a browser window, select it there and 
copy and paste it into the empty reply message -- but that isn't very 
comfortable.


I can't reproduce this error with a new account.  It is my existing 
account and deleting XUL.mfasl and chrome/*.rdf doesn't help.  I just 
rechecked it...

I did some tests and I am able to reproduce this error with a new account:

After starting mozilla mail using `mozilla --mail` I created a user 
test and pulled an encrypted message from the server I sent to that 
user before.  There is nothing special with the settings.


I was able to decrypt the message normally.

Then I changed the preferences:

In Preferences-PrivacySecurity-Images is an option Do not load
remote images in Mail  Newsgroup messages.

I checked this option.  It still decrypted properly.

After exiting and restarting mozilla I wasn't able to decrypt the message.

After unchecking that option and restarting mozilla it worked again 
(Indeed it works without having to restart, but that was a later test...).


As I started mozilla from the command line I got kind of a log.  This is 
a plain cut'n'paste without any changes.  The warnings are OK, I am 
logged in via ssh.


Only with mozilla-bin:8582 and mozilla-bin:8679 the message got 
decrypted properly.  These didn't have 
mailnews.message_display.disable_remote_image set.  The others had this 
option set to true.


I am not sure if other settings will have a similar effect to the 
behaviour of enigmail.  This is just the first setting I came across my 
tests.

OK, I know about this issue. Thanks for tracking this down. Anyway,
currently there is no way to fix this. So if you want decryption you
have to allow to load remote images :( ... for now.

No, this is indeed the only issue. You hit the nail. I know this 
discussion and afaik, there was no real compromise to fix mozilla 
security without breaking enigmail or adding special enigmail code 
to the mozilla base.

This renders mozilla mail useless.  Exactly this single option is 
responsible for at least three broken functions:

- enigmail decryption
- narrowing view via Subject or Recipient contains
- traversal between mboxes

That's ridiculous.


I know this 
discussion


Where?  Upstream within mozilla or enigmail?  Or within Debian?

It looks as if I will find a compromise myself -- and get another mailer...

 Encrypted mails get displayed as attachment which one has to save and 
 decrypt on the commandline.  Signed mails get checked normally.
 
 To check just send a mail to yourself using mozilla-enigmail itself.

2005-10-16 Thread Caspar Bothmer

Package: mozilla-enigmail
Version: 2:0.91.4
Severity: grave


Encrypted mails get displayed as attachment which one has to save and 
decrypt on the commandline.  Signed mails get checked normally.


To check just send a mail to yourself using mozilla-enigmail itself.

This behaviour shows up since the last update of mozilla.  I am using 
the official mozilla packages coming with sarge.
