[Bug 375726] [NEW] Enigmail forgetting to put headers in PGP/MIME message

[jeff_grady]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: thunderbird

Hi.  When I first type my PGP passphrase to sign a message (I'm not sure
if this happens when I type it incorrectly or if it does it all the
time), and then send the message with a PGP/MIME signature, the message
is munged in some way.

One possible cause is I noticed in one message right after I typed my
passphrase, it sent a message with a MIME part of:

--------------enigD6959F3FE292C69283C1F792
(message text)

Then, when I replied to the same exact message with the passphrase
cached, it sent the message with a MIME part of:

--------------enigB2AA7D646DC3A19F7EAD98A7
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

In that case, it seemed to forget to add the headers to the MIME part.

Other odd issues I've observed after just typing my passphrase and
sending a message are:

* Thunderbird (on ubuntu 8.04) and Entourage (on a mac) both chop off
the first paragraph of my message

* Thunderbird (on ubuntu 8.04) and Entourage (on a mac) both fail to
recognize a MIME part as a file attachment and instead render the
base64-encoded data to the screen

I'm using the following:
