Bug 377953 – mail-client/thunderbird with x11-plugins/enigmail does not handle PGP/MIME messages

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Kai Damm 2011-08-06 08:23:52 UTC]

Thunderbird does not try to decrypt a PGP/MIME message with attachment(s). It displays the message as empty text with two attachments: "Teil 1.1" (german for "part 1.1") and "encrypted.asc". That's it, no message from enigmail, no call to gpg2, no button to try and decrypt it. It decrypts "normal" gpg messages just fine, using the Qt4 password dialog from pinentry. Windows's thunderbird can also decrypt the PGP/MIME message.

I can decrypt a PGP/MIME message by saving it to a file, using command-line gpg to decrypt it, and open the decrypted file in thunderbird. From there I can save the attachments.

mail-client/thunderbird-3.1.10 USE="alsa crypt custom-optimization dbus ldap libnotify startup-notification linguas-de"

x11-plugins/enigmail-1.1.2-r2 USE="alsa custom-optimization dbus libnotify startup-notification"

app-crypt/gnupg-2.0.17 USE="bzip2 ldap nls"

app-crypt/pinentry-0.8.0 USE="gtk ncurses qt4

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. (Configure PGP identity for your mail account)
2. Create a message to yourself with attachment, select "Encrypt message" in OpenPGP menu.
3. The question about handling of attachment encryption pops up. Select "PGP/MIME"
4. Try to read the message
Actual Results:  
The message is displayed empty, with two unusable attachments: "Teil 1.1" of type "PGP file" and "encrypted.asc" of type "ASC file". There is no PGP info header.

Expected Results:  
Dialog for secret key password (if not already in cache), on correct password entry display of the decrypted message and the green PGP info header line.

Kai,
This bug is probably a dup of #324849.

[Comment 3 Kai Damm 2011-08-06 13:20:56 UTC]

Yes, the solution there works (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=324849#c37)

Thank you.
