1739905 - TB does not show email content, when PGP-Signature is attached

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(MailNews Core :: Security: OpenPGP, defect)

Description

[Klaus Martinewski]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/15.1 Safari/605.1.15

Steps to reproduce:

Sending an unencrypted email in plain text with a PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK inside the email's body. Such as:

Dear readers,

please read this message.

Thank you

Sincerely yours

-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----

1234567890

-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----=

Actual results:

When sending an email in plain text, with a PGP Public Key Block inside the body of this plain text email, the content of the email above

-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----

-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----=

will not be displayed.

The very same email with the same content, but without the PGP Block will be shown correctly.

When replying to this incorrectly displayed message, the full body of the unencrypted message will be shown correctly in the body.

My guess is, that the PGP-Module inside Thunderbird interprets the PUBLIC KEY BLOCK incorrectly as an indicator for an encrypted messages and therefor hides the lines above the PUBLIC KEY BLOCK, although the email is not encrypted at all.

Expected results:

The entire unencrypted email should be displayed, not only the PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK.
