Verify cannot handle multi-line e-mail headers
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Release: 1.2.5

Environment

Debian GNU/Linux unstable, mozilla thunderbird 0.9, enigmail 0.89.0.0

Description

I sent a signed e-mail to a mailinglist. The copy in my sent folder verifies fine. The copy I received from the mailinglist does not. It has one change, it has
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="------------010604020707020408010202"
on one line, while the original had it split on two lines. As this is not part of the signed data, and is within the authority of mail servers passing the mail, this should not be a problem. I attach a tar file with the two messages and my public key.

This is an Enigmail problem. GnuPG does not deal with email
headers (indeed, it not even aware of email headers).
