Priority: Normal
Version: 1.2.1-2 (Debian)
Synopsis: People keep complaining about unreadable gpg-signed mail
Bugzilla-Product: Evolution
Bugzilla-Component: Mailer

Description:
Description of Problem:

As a regualr user of gpg I let gpg sign my mail by default. However,
since I upgraded to the current version of evolution
I keep getting mails from people who are unable to open my signed mails.
Problems disappear when I resend them without signature. Complaints are
mostly from users of webmail-accounts who simply see nothing but also
pop3-users who are unable to retrieve the mail from the server or get
garbage displayed instead of a regular attachment.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. create a (preferably large) pgp key. I have 3kbit
2. sign all your mail with it using the evolution sign feature.
additional file attachments may worsen the situation.
3. send it out to many people.

Actual Results:

Complaints

Expected Results:

Correct Mail

How often does this happen?

I get about 20-30% complaints and presume the real number of problems to
be higher.
This is getting unacceptable.

Additional Information:

I'll gladly send out signed mail to anyone who is willing to analyze
it.
