evolutions displays pgp-messages as attachment.dat

The bug has been opened on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/184839 "There is no problem, if I get an crypted message from an evolution user. after entering the passphrase evolution will show the complete messesage. but if i send an crypted message with thunderbird the crypted part of the message will not be displayed after entering the pasphrase. then there is an unknown attachment called "attachment.dat" and can be saved locally. i get the same problem if i request an crypted message from the GnuPG-Bot "Adele" (Adele@gnupg.de). Evolution don't display the crypted part of the message. I can also confirm this bug. Evolution 2.22.3.1, Ubuntu 8.04.1 I get an attachment.dat which in reality is a plain/text file, and have to open that file in an external editor. Please fix, this is annoying! http://launchpadlibrarian.net/16733877/testmail.txt Attached is an example e-mail. I have deleted all Received headers, as well as the message content itself. This E-mail displays correctly in Thunderbird; actually, I could only test it in Icedove version 1.5.0.14eol (20080724), but I assume it would make no difference."
Please try with 2.25.92, where this seems to work fine for me. Evolution just tries to decode inline pgp, which is correct behaviour.
Created attachment 129956 [details] what I see
Inline pgp decoding now works for me, which is great. However replying to such a message results in quoted ">" ascii armored pgp, not quoted cleartext as one would expect.

bug #314333 has been fixed in 2.29.1 so i think it's better to close this bug.
