(Thunderbird :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[lawrence.chan]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/71.0.3578.98 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Thunderbird was installed with 
- gpg4win
- Enigmail



Actual results:

When printing a decrypted email with Thunderbird v.60.4, the email date 17/07/2018 changed into 18/07/2017 on the printout. The date appeared correct on screen and it works fine when printing a normal (unencrypted) email.

Thunderbird v.60.3 worked normally.



Expected results:

The email date should be printed correctly on printout.

Your description doesn't sound like a crash

Enigmail mighty modify the date in the message database (and thus the date that is visible in Thunderbird), if the message date is additionally contained in the first content-type of a signed&encrypted message (that's the Memoryhole Specification).

However, the message date is not modified during printing (I did not manage to "modify" messages for printing). In other words, yes, it's possible, and no it's not a bug in Thunderbird.

It's the same problem as https://sourceforge.net/p/enigmail/bugs/837/

Marking as "invalid" because the error is not in Thunderbird.

Thank you for your comment.

This case was reported only because the printing of email dates worked in Thunderbird 60.3 but did not work in 60.4 since its release in 20 Dec 2018. I incorrectly thought that there was something different in between.

I am sure we will be able find a way out for this issue.

Thanks again.
