Control: tags 679640 + help I just wanted to forward a discussion between Patrick and myself around the failure of enigmail 1.4.1 and icedove 10 in verifying PGP/MIME clearsigned messages that are embedded within another (non-signed) MIME part. the prognosis doesn't look good at getting this resolved, unfortunately.
attached is part of the exchange between patrick and myself, and an
attempted patch to enigmail which did not solve the problem.
I'm a bit stuck about how to resolve this issue for debian users,
unfortunately.

However, given that Thunderbird 10 has reached end of life back in February [1], I really don't see why I should invest more time into this. - -Patrick [1] http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/organizations/faq/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.18 (Darwin) iQEVAwUBUZxl3ck25cDiHiw+AQhlywf9FiHLGLQ78bh+enRqoPgcBFymTRwKGmW5 FnUadd1kSA4JjG0n/OSDPMshowziplPutAySK8xV/Rko7+Mqs7+QpvyTH+zAAMLx c63kLYsodSPq+s7zyxaS+IIyJrC4O9DtEjsnq4SvPk83+yJn8tRFhUrS+9uT6CGV pwW2fQM5NXU7urYY5ONHFGFGDmHM3cTrxV9jwt9MJlLgHN0+4sbxLt0iT3SYUL/w j4w17jxgPw2IYbscocqgYd5P0a0koUxk6MmxufHw+xzMD6VVC0kLiG/wnuBpqCtS 6Ls+Txctry3EMs9a3kMNWY8mgK0nrx3vF9VzkXvjDsFwH7mzK+fuhw== =FV6n -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
