GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 633629
Replying to GPG encrypted messages sent by Thunderbird includes non-decrypted text as citation.
Last modified: 2010-12-13 12:27:02 UTC
Replying to encrypted message sent by Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; de; rv:1.9.2.12) Gecko/20101027 Thunderbird/3.1.6 and earlier (since at least 3.1.1) does include the *encrypted* text as the citation into the message compose window for the reply. Selecting the text in the original message and then hitting reply correctly includes the decrypted text. It also works fine with messages sent by Evolution. The message body of the problematic message looks like the following. -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- Charset: UTF-8 Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (MingW32) […] -----END PGP MESSAGE----- The messages sent from Evolution are structured as follows. --=-L6B/tWudbQmgwsugkozn Content-Type: application/pgp-encrypted Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Version: 1 --=-L6B/tWudbQmgwsugkozn Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="encrypted.asc" Content-Description: Dies ist ein digital =?ISO-8859-1?Q?verschl=FCsselter?= Nachrichtenteil Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) […] -----END PGP MESSAGE----- --=-L6B/tWudbQmgwsugkozn-- I am using Debian Sid/unstable with Evolution 2.30.3-3 which has some GPG related upstream patches backported [1]. [1] http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/e/evolution/evolution_2.30.3-3/changelog#versionversion2.30.3-3
I just wanted to add that another symptom of this problem is that replying to messages sent from Thunderbird, the field to encrypt the response is not checked. It works again fine with messages sent from Evolution.
Thanks for a bug report. I think I didn't get this completely. What are you reporting here, is it: When replying to a PGP encrypted message created from thunderbird, Evolution: a) doesn't decrypt the body, so the quoted text is raw PGP message b) the Options->PGP Encrypt is not checked ? It seems that Thunderbird is using inline PGP messages, where Evolution uses PGP MIME (I think it's called that way). There was a fix within bug #630295, which I see is yours and you seem to have it included. Could you also attach here a Thunderbird message encrypted to me (my bugzilla mail, GPG key with ID F3C36A0D), for testing, please?

That is when replying. I can read the message in my inbox, i. e., it is decrypted correctly. But when I reply the citation is the raw PGP message. > b) the Options->PGP Encrypt is not checked > ?

Thanks for a message. I suppose you sent it as an attachment from evolution, because replaying to the message as received worked fine, even the attachment was removed, but the message body was as expected. I changed the content to similar as in the attachment (as I do not have the private key of it then I couldn't use it as is), and it exhibits exactly what you are describing, the message is shown properly in the preview, but replying to it quotes raw gpg data. I've a feeling there is a bug report about it already, some older. Nonetheless, I'm confirming this.
