I noticed that I could no longer read some encrypted mails after updating to mail-client/thunderbird-3.1_rc2-r1 and x11-plugins/enigmail-1.1. The difference between them: The ones that work contain the PGP block in the message body, those that don't have an encrypted.asc attachment that contains the message. When I click the attachment, enigmail asks for the passphrase. Enigmail's debug console shows that the message is successfully decrypted, however, it is not displayed. Instead thunderbird asks for an external application to handle the file. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install mail-client/thunderbird-3.1_rc2-r1 and x11-plugins/enigmail-1.1 2. Start thunderbird, open the enigmail debug console 3. Open an email that contains an attached encrypted PGP message 4. Click the "encrypted.asc" attachment Actual Results: Thunderbird asks which external application should be used to open the file. Expected Results: a) Enigmail should try to decrypt the message as soon as the mail is viewed, not just after clicking the attachment. b) The message and PGP information (signature, encryption) should be displayed in the message area. This worked with thunderbird 3.0.4 and enigmail 1.0.1-r3. The only way I currently have to read attached encrypted messages is to save the encrypted attachment and use gpg on the command line. I noticed that the current enigmail-1.1 ebuild still uses TBVER="3.1rc1" to build, but I don't know if that's related to this bug.
If you would in a few hours sync and re-emerge enigmail I bumped it to use rc2 for the source to build with and repost your findings here please.
Rebuilt with rc2, but the bug persists. :-( Any thing else I should try?
For all those effected please test with a clean profile. Upstream has been unable to reproduce the problem and plan to make 3.1 final release tomorrow.
I am able to reproduce this with a new/clean profile (i.e. ~/.thunderbird moved out of the way).
Just a minute ago, I was made aware of Enigmail bug 22951 <URL:https://www.mozdev.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=22951>, which looks like the issue reported here. However, the forum <URL.http://mozilla-enigmail.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=702> and Mozilla bug <URL:https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=564737> links given there suggest that this problem only appears when HTML editing is enabled. I do not use HTML mails, but this problem occurs for me. So is it the same bug? If yes, it should be fixed in enigmail-1.1.1, which is available from upstream <URL:https://enigmail.mozdev.org/download/source.php>.
I will add enigmail-1.1.1 to the tree a bit later this morning.
(In reply to comment #6) > I will add enigmail-1.1.1 to the tree a bit later this morning. > Sorry I did not get this added yesterday as I had hoped. I have added it to the tree should hit the rsync mirrors shortly.
Enigmail 1.1.1 has hit the mirrors. Please test, if all is fine close completely.
I updated to mail-client/thunderbird-3.1 and x11-plugins/enigmail-1.1.1 about one hour ago, but it's still broken. I have the following use flags: Thunderbird: alsa crypt custom-optimization dbus ldap libnotify lightning system-sqlite Enigmail: custom-optimization dbus system-sqlite Nico, any match with yours?
On my system, too, this bug is still present after an upgrade of Thunderbird and Enigmail to the latest versions available in the portage tree: Thomas and others, these are my use flags: mail-client/thunderbird-3.1 alsa crypt dbus gnome ldap libnotify linguas_de startup-notification system-sqlite wifi x11-plugins/enigmail-1.1.1 dbus gnome startup-notification system-sqlite You don’t assume that it is caused by ‘system-sqlite’, do you? The other flags should only enable functionality supported by upstream, right? This bug should be reopened. (I don’t have the necessary rights.)

I forgot to tick the "Use PGP/MIME" checkbox in the first mail, so I sent a second one. The first test mail works on my side, the second one shows the bug.
I have just installed enigmail-1.1.2, which is available from upstream. Unfortunately, it does not fix this bug for me.
the proper upstream bug for this bug seems to be this one: https://www.mozdev.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=22957 hopefully they will find a solution soon...
I don't know if this is related, but There must be a bug with the notifications in thunderbird-3.1. The pop-up opens as usual at the right lower corner of the desktop (gnome) workspace, but it shows blank (not always). On the terminal it says: (thunderbird-bin:3248): libnotify-CRITICAL **: notify_notification_update: assertion `summary != NULL && *summary != '\0'' failed Also, maybe related to Bug# 326985 (on ~amd64)
I don’t think this is related to bug 326985: on my system, gpg-agent and pinentry run fine, and I am asked to enter my passphrase when sending a signed message.
This bug has magically disappeared on my system. I cannot say for sure why. A few package upgrades occurred in the last two days, but I’m not sure what exactly caused it. Has anyone else noticed similar behavior?

Not working for me either (also latest ~amd64, and default/linux/amd64/10.0/no-multilib)

(In reply to comment #22) still doesn't work on my system :( (well I don't have ldap and gnome enabled...)
It should work out-of-the-box anyway. Does not work for me here either (have not tested using gnome use-flag either).
The solution presented in <URL:https://www.mozdev.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=22957#c21> (from <URL:https://www.mozdev.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=17758#c17>) fixes this bug for me in mail-client/thunderbird-3.1.3 with x11-plugins/enigmail-1.1.2-r2.
Please refer to comment #25 for details.

This works for me, too. (with the same versions of TB and Enigmail on Gentoo 32bit) I wonder which bit of software is responsible for the breakage, since it's apparently Gentoo-specific. I.e. should Enigmail handle PGP/MIME without the change of /etc/mime.types (problem of Enigmail) or should another package (which?) set the entry in /etc/mime.types correctly?
The fix presented in comment #25 solves the problem for me also using mail-client/thunderbird-3.1.4 and x11-plugins/enigmail-1.1.2-r3
The fix does not fix the situation for me... Same problem: Encrypted mail is not decrypted and I am not even asked for a passphrase. The "attachement" can be viewed by manually choosing to Since encryption with passphrase entering works there should not be a problem with ~/.gnupg/* files? I have tested various versions: please post the versions and use flags of thunderbird and enigmail if it works for you.

Since this bug is very well reproducible and also traceable (for somebody familiar with the code) I am quite frustrated that there seems to be no real interest in solving this issue :-( Is it possibly unclear who is "responsible"? I guess it could be the mime-package from gentoo or the gentoo-package system messing up something or enigmail or thunderbird itself or or or... I am still here and responsive. Just tell me what information could be helpful and I will provide it. ps: I really don't want to piss somebody off ;-) I hope you recognize that I mean to be constructive...

Add to /etc/mime.types application/pgp-encrypted pgp asc AND delete mimeTypes.rdf from your .thunderbird/XYZ-Profile.

Not solved here, ~amd64, thunderbird 5.0 or 6.0 still displays it failed to start the gpg-agent which is required with gnupg-2.0.18.

If you use kde, uncomment the gpg-agent lines in /etc/kde/startup/agent-startup.sh. I think there are similar solutions for other DEs...
