Hello everyone, I just received a PGP encrypted message (multipart, pgp/mime) from an Apple Mail user using GnuPG (just like me). When I click the security icon to decrypt the message, TB opens a file requester and wants to save the decrypted message to disk (which is not really what I expected).
For testing purposes, another person sent a pgp/mime encrypted message (using Thunderbird), and it decrypts just fine, and is shown in the message viewer (as expected). I tested this with both "ye goode ol" 3.0.2.10 and 3.72.04 and both versions show the same behaviour. The AppleMail user told me I'm the first to report this, so I'm tempted to think its a TB issue... but I'm not sure. Further inspection of the message headers doesn't reveal any really obvious clues (see below). Maybe someone with an insight into the correct headers for this transport format can tell me if these are ok? I reduced it to the relevant parts and removed all the received-by headers etc. etc. This is the problematic message where TB prompts me to save the msg to disk after decrypting: *** Applemail message, PGP related parts *** Headers (notice the Content-Type header is all in one line): Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v746.3) Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: multipart/encrypted; protocol="application/pgp-encrypted"; boundary="Apple-Mail-4--523949663" X-Pgp-Agent: GPGMail 1.1.2 (Tiger) X-Gpgmail-State: !signed,mime X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.746.3) Body: --Apple-Mail-4--523949663 content-type: application/pgp-encrypted content-transfer-encoding: 7bit content-description: PGP/MIME version identification Version: 1 --Apple-Mail-4--523949663 content-type: application/octet-stream; name="PGP.asc" content-transfer-encoding: 7bit content-description: OpenPGP encrypted message content-disposition: inline; filename="PGP.asc" -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (Darwin) [...snipped...] -----END PGP MESSAGE----- --Apple-Mail-4--523949663-- *** End of Apple Mail message *** This is the message that decrypts and is shown in TBs viewer: *** Thunderbird message *** Headers - the one apparent difference is that the "Content-Type" headers entries are separated not only with ; as in the Apple Mail message, but with linebreaks as well.
