I guess there should be a locale indepenent way of checking errors on signatures, so there is no need to compare with english strings and loss the localized output of gpg... Except there isn't (at least using the command line binary).

It should have been LC_MESSAGES not LC_MESSAGE. How about now? No. I'm sorry, it doesn't fix it, at least not on my host... Without forcing LC_ALL="C" on the wrapper, gpg still returns spanish messages.

Does this fix it? I can't get my GPG to output translated error messages. No. It seems the patch doesn't fix it. I have set my wrapper to log LC_ALL, LC_MESSAGE and LANG environment variables before calling gpg. Jun 28 17:04:14 xyz logger: gpg-wrapper: LC_ALL = es_ES.UTF-8 Jun 28 17:04:14 xyz logger: gpg-wrapper: LC_MESSAGE = Jun 28 17:04:14 xyz logger: gpg-wrapper: LANG = Here's the script: #!/bin/bash logger "gpg-wrapper: LC_ALL = $LC_ALL" logger "gpg-wrapper: LC_MESSAGE = $LC_MESSAGE" logger "gpg-wrapper: LANG = $LANG" LC_ALL="C" /usr/bin/gpg "$@" exit $? Replacing LC_MESSAGE with LC_ALL in the patch doesn't work either. Maybe php setlocale function is independent of environment variables passed to called executables.

I see that the problem is string the comparison of the output of gpg. Horde/IMP compares with the textual strings "BAD" and "Good" without realizing it is calling /usr/bin/gpg with LC_ALL environment variable set for the locale of the webmail user. As a simple workaround I made a gpg-wrapper shell script which sets LC_ALL="C" and then calls /usr/bin/gpg with arguments provided.

The attachment displays the IMP message view, above using the english locale below using the spanish locale (where the bug is present)

While viewing a message which contains a pgp signed message with an invalid signature, it shows: 1) "error-like icon" 2) description, "BAD signature data from...". However reading the same message using the Spanish locale shows 1) "ok-like" icon (like in GOOD signature) 2) description, "firma INCORRECTA"... Please note that "INCORRECTA" in spanish means "BAD". So, IMP should show the "bad" or error-like icon in Spanish too. Any user, guided by the icon shown, could be decepted into believing a forefeited message is from the pretended sender.
