1759352 - PGP signature always sent as attachment

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1602481

(Thunderbird :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[git-x]

Steps to reproduce:

Send a PGP-signed email (not encrypted).

The config settings are as follows:
-- Plain text emails as default.
-- mail.identity.default.attachPgpKey is set to 'false'
-- mail.identity.id1.attachPgpKey is set to 'false'
-- mail.openpgp.allow_external_gnupg is set to 'true'

Actual results:

E-mail sent to gmx.com / outlook.com / gmail.com et al and all emails arrived with PGP signature as attachment.

Expected results:

PGP signature should have been been in-line, not as attachment. Expecting to see:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512

MESSAGE HERE

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----

SIGNATURE HERE

-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
