[Evolution-hackers] S/MIME bug: signed & encrypted messages are in invalid format (bare LF)

[dev+gnome seantek com]

Hi there,

I have found a bug in the S/MIME feature of Evolution (2.28.1 and 
trunk). Hopefully this should be pretty easy to fix. I tried to file 
this as a bug on Bugzilla, but I cannot create an account on 
bugzilla.gnome.org--no ping e-mail is received in any of my inboxes, and 
I have tried several e-mail addresses with different providers.

When a signed and encrypted message is composed in Evolution, the MIME 
content of the EnvelopedData object is formatted with bare linefeeds 
(LFs). This is not valid MIME--all MIME messages (and e-mail in general) 
is required to use CRLFs as line endings. The outer message, where the 
EnvelopedData is base64 encoded, and the inner message inside the 
SignedData part, are properly CRLF encoded. It's just the layer in between.

When an EnvelopedData (encrypted)-only message is composed, and when a 
SignedData (signed)-only message is composed, this is not a problem.

How can this be fixed? I have started to look through Evolution to see 
if it is easy enough to develop a patch, but the process is taking awhile.

Thanks,

SL
