Description

There appears to be a change from GPGol v0.9.92 to v1.0.1. For some reason,
GPGol is now auto-downloading all IMAP messages instead of letting outlook
retrieve only the message header and letting the user optionally download the
full message at a later time.

My previous environment was gpg4win v1.1.3 (GPGol v0.9.92). I've now upgraded to
gpgp4win v2.0.1 (GPGol v1.0.1). OS is winxp w/sp3. Outlook is 2003 sp3
(11.8313.8221).

Due to the new auto-downloading, i can't leave GPGol running.. have to re-enable
it when necessary. Please revert to the previous methodology and don't
auto-download. Let outlook pull just the message header and leave retrieving the
full message to the end-user when they open the message.
Thnx!

Sorry, we can't do anything about it. This is pureley an Outlook problem.
GpgOL does not know anything about IMAP; all what we do is to use the MAPI
interface.

Hi Werner,

First off - thank you for the reply!

I suspect the issue originates in the onDelivery() event calling
mapi_change_message_class(). If onDelivery() is called for each new message
notification and it checks mapi_change_message_class(), the message will need to
be downloaded.

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to check the message class only during onRead()?

fyi.. I've downgraded back to GPGol v0.9.92 (gpg4win v1.1.3) and I'm functioning
again - imap messages aren't auto-downoaded until I open them.

Please give my comments some thought..
Thnx!

We need to hook into ondelivery because that is the only way which allows us to
change the message class before OL starts processing it. The change you see is
probably due to more elaborate message checking to catch more cases; in
particular we need to cope with the old-stylish cleartext PGP messages and also
handle other buggy messages here. This requires looking at the message body.
