PGP/MIME and in-message PGP blocks
Last modified: 2002-05-03 17:00:29 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. Unknown reporter: simon@onyx.net, changed to bugbuddy-import@ximian.com.
Working on that... (See also bug 217541) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 217540 ***
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.
