Hi,
Again thanks for your feedback on the GpgOL-Beta. You might want to give the
latest one from (beta-246 currently) a try
it's much improved and there were several potential crashes fixed. I'm currently
working on an improved certificate selection and certificate details dialog and
then we will release a new gpg4win beta with that.
To your problem: Yes this is a serious problem, but we currently don't have a
solution for this, only a workaround. The workaround is to do the Copy / Move /
Modify while the mail is not shown decrypted. In the current beta:
If you unselect the crypto mail you can move / copy / modify (e.g. flag) the
message through right clicking it.
To save the message as .msg you can drag & drop it (even when opened) to a
target windows explorer folder.
An opened messaage can still be moved to trash. Any other moves will sadly
result in an "File name or directory name is not valid" error.
We inform the user about this only when he tries to modify a mail (see attached
screenshot) we should probably also do that for other things.
The underlying problem is pretty complicated and we spent a lot of time
struggling with that, but basically we must prevent outlook from saving the
decrypted content. Otherwise the mail will break and can no longer be shown in
other MUAs. And worse the Plaintext may be resynced to the server. One
workaround we had was to restore the crypto contents before outlook saved the
mail then decrypt it again. But this caused several other problems. E.g. Outlook
resynced the mail to imap and Signatures might be broken, and if we did this at
the wrong time outlook would do into an indefinite sync loop. So we decided
better to have clear workarounds and be otherwise stable then to have buggy /
strange behavior.
As a user are these workarounds acceptable to you.
