Fri, 10 Apr 2026 06:14:16 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/4368 IMP doesn't decrypt in-line PGP encrypted messages I've been working on getting PGP working in my IMP setup, and noticed that IMP will not decrypt messages that don't have the usual MIME part data for the PGP encrypted message. This is specified in RFC 2440 [1]. The attached message was generated with Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5.0.5, using Enigmail version 0.94. 1. http://rfc.net/rfc2440.html Wed, 30 Aug 2006 18:03:23 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/4368#t23651 Did you turn on the pgp_scan_body preference? Wed, 30 Aug 2006 18:07:11 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/4368#t23654 Yes, all PGP options are activated (Enable, attach public key and scan). My public/private keys have been uploaded, and I've imported one from someone else. All other encryption/signing things work fine.

I forgot to mention that the encrypted bit is recognized as being encrypted, but I have no way of decrypting it (no link is generated). This is what is put in the body of the message: PGP This message has been encrypted with PGP. encrypted Wed, 30 Aug 2006 19:07:36 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/4368#t23656 Michael, can you take a peek at this? Fri, 01 Sep 2006 15:28:29 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/4368#t23686 Works fine here (with a test message sent by myself - your test message is worthless since I don't know your private passphrase). It is quite likely that the body of your text message is simply blank.

WIth PGP partitioned format, IMP does not decrypt the message. However IMP does decrypt if it is sent PGP/MIME. Unfortunately, PGP corp desided to screw with the RFC and if you send a message using their product to anyone using OpenPGP or GnuPG who are using Thunderbird in the PGP/MIME format you can not read it in Thunderbird. You have to download the attachment and decrypt it external to the program. If you send it as PGP partitioned then Thunderbird and OpenPGP will decrypt inside Thunderbird and you can read it as normal. It is a vicious cycle.

This is incorrect. Enigmail supports PGP/MIME just fine: http://enigmail.mozdev.org/documentation/features.php Wed, 03 Dec 2008 23:57:03 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/4368#t51068
