I've got some initial results that suggest there is indeed an interop problem - I'm trying to get more detail. Mutt has no trouble groking messages sent with the current version (latest snap) but a friend using a windows mailer reports similar symptoms (the base64 attachment isn't being decoded). Of course, It could be a bug in his mailer. I'm trying to get the raw text of the message for comparison. On Wed, Oct 03, 2001 at 02:30:51PM -0400, Jeffrey Stedfast wrote:
Is this before or after the decryption in PMMAIL? Also, the "Content-Encodin\nbase64\n" seems a bit wrong.

JeffI have now tested sending pgp encrypted attachments using Evo 0.14 (the Red Carpet version from last week) from 3 separate computers and the results are a non-functioning message when received on a non-Evo email program. All 3 computers had worked with Evo 0.13 and are SuSE 7.2 systems with the Red Carpet upgrade from 0.13 to 0.14. Between the Evo computers sending encrypted attachments works fine and the Evo computers can all properly receive encrypted attachments from other emailers. The problem appears to be limited to Evo sending encrypted attachments to non Evo emailer programs. To the best of my knowledge the only changes to the 3 computers I tried to send the Evo encrypted files from were that the computers were upgraded using Red Carpet after ver 0.14 became available. (Other updated programs from Ximiam occured at the same time such as Control Center.) All 3 computers had been able to send encrypted attachments to non Evo systems when using Evo 0.13 Below is an example of an encrypted message sent from Evo 0.14 to a non Evo email program. Note that the pgp encrypted attachment does not show as a separate attachment as it should but is included in the body of the email. This little example shows some of the header, the body of the email and what appears to be the attached file. (The information about content type does not typically show up with the opened encrypted email.) ****** START ****** Subject: from Linda's machine From: Linda Sanford <lsanford telusplanet net> To: Ralph Sanford <rsanford telusplanet net> Content-Type: multipart/encrypted; protocol="application/pgp-encrypted"; boundary="=-Yi9vrxwVWvUMI/utMEQt" X-Mailer: Evolution/0.14 (Preview Release) Date: 02 Oct 2001 20:57:47 -0600 Message-Id: <1002077868 1179 6 camel lsanford> Mime-Version: 1.0 --=-x1HU38Qwke+lADyVzIXs Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit test from Linda's machine using Evo 0.14 of pgp encrypted attachment to computer with WinNT and pmmail. --=-x1HU38Qwke+lADyVzIXs Content-Type: application/msword Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=staff_home_numbers.doc Content-ID: <1002077620 1137 1 camel lsanford> Content-Transfer-Encodin base64 0M8R4KGxGuEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPgADAP7/CQAGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABAAAAJAAAAAAAAA AA EAAAJgAAAAEAAAD+////AAAAACMAAAD/////////////////////////////////////////// // ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /s pcEATSAJBAAA8BK/AAAAAAAAEAAAAAAABAAA3AUAAA4AYmpiauI94j0AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AA AAAJBBYAIhQAAIBXAACAVwAA3AEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD//w8AAA AA AAAAAAD//w8AAAAAAAAAAAD//w8AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGwAAAAAACwBAAAAAAAALAEAAC wB etc., etc. ******* FINISH *******On Mon, 2001-10-01 at 20:41, Ralph Sanford wrote:I recently tried to send attachments with my email from Evolution 0.14 encrypted using pgp. What the recipients received was an encrypted email which when decrypted had the attachment included within the body of the email (not as an attachment) and the attachment appeared to remain encrypted. The 3 recipients have not changed their systems since the last encrypted mails were sent successfully and all 3 recipients have reported the same problem. The only change I can think of is that I upgraded from Evo 0.13 to 0.14 via Red Carpet. All the recipients are using pgp 6.5.8, the keys were exchanged years ago and have not changed. I believe all the recipients are using PMMail as their email program. Until yesterday the use of encrypted mail between us worked without problems. My system is SuSE 7.2 with pgp 6.5.8. The evolution is 0.14 as downloaded last week using Red Carpet. Has there been a change to the encryption methodology of Evolution? Should I change my evolution setting in some manner? Have other user successfully sent encrypted attachments using evolution 0.14? If I send encrypted attachment using evolution from my computer to my wife's computer also using evolution then the attachments are received correctly at her computer. However the majority of my email recipients are not using evolution as their email package so this is not as significant as being able to communicate with other users. Any suggestions? Or does some one know how to back grade to evolution 0.13?-- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, rsanford telusplanet net - should you trust your government?
