Bug 13272 – PGP traditional in Mutt breaks stupid/broken mail clients

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Joseph Carter 2003-01-04 19:52:43 UTC]

Outhouse Express breaks with PGP-MIME and can't handle PGP Traditional either
because mutt uses the msg.pgp as the filename.

Line 1664 of pgp.c contains the problem.  Patch is trivial, but not attachable
from the bug submission page.

change msg.pgp to msg.txt so Outhouse knows how to display it

a better patch

My first patch only fixed the problem in some cases with some versions of
Outhouse Express.  This patch does exactly what is now done upstream in mutt
CVS.

If I understand correctly, it means that mutt-1.5 does not need your patch ? Have you tried upgrading ? (I know, I know, it's a "beta" version)

[Comment 4 Joseph Carter 2003-06-25 20:55:54 UTC]

Indeed, a better solution than my patch would be to backport the PGP/MIME changes from 1.5.  Rather than do that, I have simply started using 1.5, which is a reasonably nice client and has never done anything wrong/unstable.

since mutt-1.5.x is marked stable, this bug is no longer applicable
