Description emacsray 2013-09-30 02:40:41 UTC
See "Steps to Reproduce"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. compose a new mail message
2. enclose an attachment named a.asc (its mimetype will be recognized as application/pgp-encrypted)
3. send the mail
4. look into the copy of the sent out message in $record Maildir and find its content was changed to "Version: 1"

from sendlib.c:

  /* This is pretty gross, but it's the best solution for now... */
  if ((WithCrypto & APPLICATION_PGP)
      && a->type == TYPEAPPLICATION
      && mutt_strcmp (a->subtype, "pgp-encrypted") == 0)
  {
    fputs ("Version: 1\n", f);
    return 0;
  }

hence it feels "intended" and was introduced in

Not sure what we can do about this, really...

This is beyond me, perhaps upstream knows what would be a proper way to fix this.
