Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 168098

(MailNews Core :: Attachments, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

I use pgp to create attachments. I attach the pgpg'ed file to the mail and send
it as usual. This seems OK. However when the message is received on the
recepient side, the attachment can not be unpgp'ed. I tried this also by sending
a copy to me ( so it is sent and received by mozilla ). The problem is still
there, so I understand this is not sth with the other hand.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.make a dummy tar.gz file. encrypt it with pgp. 
2.create a mail and attach the pgp'ed file to the mail, sent to your mail account
3.get your mail and save the attachment, try to unpgp the attachment.

Actual Results:  
PGP tool will complain that the file is corrupt.

Expected Results:  
I am not sure what is wrong but it should rather be able to send the attachment
correctly.  

The problem is independent of the pgp version. I have tried several versions of
the pgp tool and both on windows and linux.

That might be a dupe of another bug.

Please read through bug 168098 comment 4 and see if that's also the cause of
your problem. Please close the bug as dupe if it is - if not, the complete
source of an corrupted mail with attachment would be nice.

I have removed the pgp applicaton help and added an helper application/grmpf
with extension pgp. It now seems to be working.
