Re: [Evolution] NEW problem with Evo and encryption
It's not using a different spec, it's using THE spec. There is no other spec. Their mailer is broken, period. Btw, Evolution can handle receiving email from these broken mailers but does not send out the broken format because that is just WRONG.

Re: [Evolution] NEW problem with Evo and encryption
This problem is not anything new, this has always been the case with in-line PGP encrypted messages. If you got a properly encrypted message (PGP/MIME), you'd be able to reply via plain-text. The problem with in-line pgp encrypted messages is that we have to do evil hacks to detect and then decrypt the text and show it in the viewer. When we go to reply, we use a different code path that looks for the message body part and sends that off to the composer. It doesn't do any evil hacks to decrypt pgp encrypted blocks.

This is not so good, in fact this is not workable. It is impossible for me to type a comment into an encrypted block of text. Also the original poster does not know what his message looks like after it is encrypted and since the original message was encrypted to my public key then it is not possible for him to open it anyhow. Once the message has been decrypted by me for my use then I should be able to send it to whomever I choose in plain, decrypted text or encrypted IF I so choose. I believe this was handled correctly in Evo 0.13 it is incorrect in 0.14 and 0.15 -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - should you trust your government?
