GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 558536
Encrypted & Signed mails do not validate signature.
Last modified: 2008-12-10 16:20:36 UTC
Please describe the problem: Evolution signs the mail, attaches the signature, then encrypts the result... however, some other clients (such as Enigmail) do the encrypt & sign in a single operation. In this case, one can export the mail and validate it using GPG, but Evolution will decrypt the message, but misses the fact that the cyphertext also included a signature. Steps to reproduce: Use Thunderbird+Enigmail to send a message that is both encrypted and signed. Actual results: The received message shows a warning that the message was encrypted but not signed. Expected results: The received message should correctly display the digital signature. Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: It is interesting to note that Enigmail suffers the reverse of this bug, because it goes not recursively process PGP attchments in attachments..
