Description C Shilpa 2005-09-01 11:10:10 UTC

Version details: 2.4
Distribution/Version: SuSE 9.3

Open the compose mail window. Select PGP encrypt from the Security menu. Enter
an email id whose public key is present in your database. Enter the subject and
body of the mail and click on send. It goes to the outbox. Before the mail is
sent goto the outbox and select the mail. It prompts for the passphrase. Click
on cancel in the passphrase prompt dialog and try to open the mail by
double-clicking on it. Evolution crashes.

When the mail is selected from the outbox, evolution fails to send the message
and pops-up an error dialog saying 'Unknown error while performing operation'

Here is the stack trace:

Ubuntu bug about that: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/45113

That happens for different users with 2.7, updating the version according to that

Set target milestone to 2.8

Comment 10 Pascal Terjan 2007-03-31 22:48:39 UTC

The reason of the crash is that gpg_decrypt receives as ipart a CamelMultipartEncrypted and not a CamelMedium.

By replacing (CamelMedium *) with CAMEL_MEDIUM I got the following nice warning :

(evolution-2.10:14161): camel-WARNING **: Object 0x8f86ec8 (class 'CamelMultipartEncrypted') doesn't have 'medium' in its hierarchy

I did the following workaround to test :

if(CAMEL_IS_MEDIUM(ipart)) {
    content = camel_medium_get_content_object(CAMEL_MEDIUM(ipart));
} else {
    content=ipart;
}

and it works fine.

Now I'll try to find why the ipart is wrong, stay tuned...

Created attachment 85634 [details] [review]
give the full medium to the decrypt function

Here is a patch on evolution fixing the crash for me

The bug is still present in evo 2.10. This is very annoying :(

I have pushed this to stable and head. 2.11.3 and 2.10.3 should feature this.
