Description Tim Waugh 2000-12-14 14:37:10 EST

When sending a GPG-signed message using Pine (via the gpg-sign filter), the
content-type is 'text/plain' rather than 'application/gpg; x-action=...'.

This means that if the receiver is using something a real mail client like
mutt ( ;-) ), they have to use procmail to fix up the content-type first
(or do it by hand).

To reproduce: send mail with pine and sign it; read the mail using mutt.

This is not a bug in Pine. Pine allows you to change the content/type of a
message. I would say the bug is in the gpg-sign filter or the mistake is in the
way you use it. Did you use the  _MIMETYPE_ token when sending the mail?

Comment 2 Mike A. Harris 2001-01-28 15:32:43 EST

I've read the relevant RFC's, and I agree that this is something that
should be fixed.  I don't consider it an extremely high priority though
because the pinegpg app has a few other problems and I am going to try
and find a better replacement for it if there is one out there.  If not,
I will look into this again some time before too long and fix it.

Going through deferred items.  pine is deprecated now, so closing this
as WONTFIX
