Description Simon Woodward 2002-05-02 12:35:51 UTC
Package: Evolution
Priority: Critical
Version: 1.0.3
Synopsis: PGP/MIME and in-message PGP blocks
Bugzilla-Product: Evolution
Bugzilla-Component: Mailer

Description:
Evolution's total lack of support for in-message PGP blocks.

Yes RFC3156 has UPDATED, (note UPDATED, not REPLACED) RFC2015, but 99%
of the world have mail clients that don't support RFC3156 which pretty
much makes PGP use in Evolution totally useless.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE dont let a little thing like this make me have to
ditch evolution as if my clients can't rely on my mail, there is no
point to me using it.

Yes, their mail clients should support the new RFC, but they don't, they
won't change what they are using ... all it takes is a little backward
compatability.

huh? Evolution was written to comply with rfc2015 *and* rfc3156. Not
many mail clients even support PGP/MIME in the first place. It's
pretty much mutt and Evolution ONLY.

What you are asking for is "in-line PGP" which has no formal
specification.

But appears to be the way that everyone else does business, which
makes evolution completely useless in a business environment
communicating with people who require PGP sigs for security checks.
