Description Fabian Vogt 2019-07-03 12:50:33 UTC 
Exchange (in this case Office 356) mangles PGP encrypted messages when sending.

Content-Type: multipart/encrypted; boundary="nextPart6734939.BlDrd8uHN9"; protocol="application/pgp-encrypted"

ends up as

Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
	boundary="_003_2390612FqyDRV8H2nlinuxe202susede_"

And so KMail is unable to show the mail correctly. By editing the content-type to say multipart/encrypted, it's displayed correctly.

Some more information:

Messages are not garbled if only signed.

GNOME Evolution also had the discussion regarding a workaround some time ago: http://gnome-evolution-general.1774414.n4.nabble.com/Evolution-3-18-5-2-Encryption-with-GPG-from-Hotmail-Account-message-structure-td4665706.html

I also got Office 365 SMTP working. Their SMTP server does not have the problem.
