Since upgrading from seamonkey-1.1.1 to seamonkey-1.1.2, Mail&News no longer decrypts PGP/MIME messages in IMAP folders. Instead, an error message is displayed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. place an email with PGP/MIME attachment in an IMAP folder 2. try to open the email Actual Results: An error message "ERROR - IMAP message too large to decrypt/verify" pops up. Expected Results: Show the email This was working in seamonkey-1.1.1. Also, encrypted non-PGP/MIME emails are not affected. As a workaround, copy the message to a local folder, where it will be decrypted correctly.
Hrm...probably due to enigmail version. Can you test with the -bin version? Installing the extension from the enigmail page.
Further testing has revealed that this also happens with the binary version and with the Windows version. So this is not a Gentoo-specific problem. Another workaround I have found is unchecking "Load MIME parts on demand (IMAP folders)" in the OpenPGP Preferences. Unfortunately I have lots of emails with large attachments, which makes Seamonkey almost unbearably slow when on-demand loading is disabled.
Using enigmail-0.95.0?
Yes, this was using enigmail 0.95.0 I reported the issue upstream, but there seems to be no interest in fixing this: http://bugzilla.mozdev.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17138
What's the status of this? I guess we can't fix anything...
