Steps to reproduce:

Hi,

When sending an email that is signed with a PGP signature to a schleuder mailinglist, I received an error bad signature. This means somewhere in the email there is an error. As Thunderbird does not use the default syntax of -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I find it hard to debug this issue.

I found a sed command on topicbox to extract PGP contents from an email, but it did not run on linux, I guess it is a different syntax. So far I have failed to verify it manually what goes wrong.

I tried the last nightly, but the same issues happens as in the stable version of 78.8.1.

Actual results:

When sending an email to my own email address, on opening it the first time it shows an invalid digital signature. When opening it the second time it shows a valid digital signature, with the exact same source of the email.

When sending to a schleuder pgp encrypted mailinglist it gives an indication that the signature is bad.

Expected results:

Emails received should have a valid signature. Schleuder should say the signature is valid. And there should be a valid way to extract this data manually to verify it with the GPG command line utility.

support issue?

Please provide a testcase to reproduce.

Please provide a testcase to reproduce.

To reproduce:

  1. setup pgp
  2. send an email with signature, without encryption, without public key attached
  3. go to the sent tab
  4. click the sent email
  5. see an invalid pgp signature

Then to see the valid signature
6. click another email
7. click the same sent email again and see a valid signature.
