Description Stephan Klein 2007-09-28 21:11:30 UTC 
It is really confusing when you receive a gpg-signed e-mail and Evolution displays an attachment icon next to the message, but does not list any attachmets.
This is especially confusing for new and unexperienced users.

Other information:
I understand that the signature is technically an attachment, but please, either remove it, if there are no other attachments or replace it with a symbol that tells the user that the message is signed and/or encrypted.
Comment 1 Jeffrey Stedfast 2007-10-01 03:00:36 UTC 
can you attach a sample message?

also note that evolution can't possibly be able to guarantee that there is an attachment or not... this is just a guess based on the toplevel mime type afair.

A pgp signed message

I think it could easily be guessed whether the message is signed by simply looking at the Content-Type header (multipart/signed).
Comment 4 Stephan Klein 2007-10-01 17:11:43 UTC 
The content types multipart/signed and multipart/encrypted are defined in RFC 1847 (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1847.html).

+1. Could this be linked to bug 478239 by any chance?

I will mark this as duplicate and I will try to solve this together with it.
