Secure Bugmail appears in gmail as attachments rather than inline

In gmail (with mailvelope) the contents of a secure bug notification is an attachment named encrypted.asc that must be opened individually. It would be much more pleasant if it was inline - and the Content Disposition header on the multitype part does say it should be.

I am wondering if removing the 'filename' field would cause it to truly be inline in the gmail ui.

Be aware this is/was somewhat of a minefield; see bug 737523.

"mail people" largely and historically prefer PGP/MIME to inline PGP (both the RFC-making technical folks and the security folks)

That said, and the date on bug 737523 notwithstanding, I was getting bugmail that was inline PGP at least through March 2021. At that point I turned off those mails so I don't know when the format changed.

Ah, looking back those were specifically on "request" type mail, and I found bug 1464479 comment 1 (from myself! ) indicating we sent those inline at the same time we were using PGP/MIME for other bugmail ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
