Version: 1.5 (using KDE KDE 3.1) Installed from: Unspecified Linux OS: Linux Kmail ignores the charset header in GnuPG encrypted messages as follows: To: XXX XXXX <XXXX@grondtron.com> Subject: Re: My public key is here References: <3FAA557D.2070301@heptachor.ru> <200311060924.28777.XXXX@grondtron.com> In-Reply-To: <200311060924.28777.XXXX@grondtron.com> X-Enigmail-Version: 0.76.1.0 X-Enigmail-Supports: pgp-inline, pgp-mime Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Status: R X-Status: N -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- Charset: KOI8-R Version: GnuPG v1.0.6-2 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org This message is displayed correctly by other clients, but Kmail ignores the "Charset: KOI8-R" in PGP header. The content of the encrypted message is US-ASCII and the content of PGP MESSAGE once it is decrypted is what is specified by its charset header.
No bug, but a missing feature. Until now I didn't even know that this header exists because usually the charset is specified by the mail client in the message headers.
Note that the bug (at least partly) is on the Mozilla/Enigmail side. It does not act OpenPGP compliant. As MIME aware MUA it SHOULD use the PGP/MIME standard to send such emails. This would preserve the content-type headers a lot better.
Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented. Thank you for your understanding.
Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
