-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I scooped this topic from an earlier thread to document on the Derby web site. For just one of the emails in the thread about this topic see:
http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/[EMAIL PROTECTED]&msgNo=248 So, there are two issues with sending/saving patches with Enigmail that prevent applying that patch (1) tildes (2) an extra "- " (1) tildes By default, Enigmail handles Mozilla's text=flowed formatting by replacing leading spaces with a tilde ("~") character (see http://enigmail.mozdev.org/troubles.html#flowed). Unfortunately, those tildes make it difficult to apply patches posted to the derby-dev mail list. So, when you post a patch using Enigmail, turn off the Allow flowed text setting: Enigmail -> Preferences -> Sending -> Allow flowed text (RFC 2646) Turning it off works (does not produce tildes). (2) The extra "- " Here are the most coherent write-ups on this issue that I was able to find: http://mozdev.org/pipermail/enigmail/2003-August/000233.html http://www.stillhq.com/extracted/gnupg-api/doc/faq.html#q4.7 But I'm not finding a clear solution and, unfortunately, I just tried Jan's suggestion to use Enigmail/Save decrypted message and it doesn't work for me: | I figured that out, you have to use Enigmail/Save decrypted message | to get the original text from inlined patches. That will remove the - - escapes. I would think that other Apache projects have encountered this, but didn't get any search hits. Has anybody else had time to look at this? thanks, -jean -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFBP3IuF0L6u5lYbCYRAtQsAJ4+DLS8yymqw7iTw6YmIkbiDZqxPgCeJbbt iLWSZ0VGv1dd2Lj4p6/tMU4= =/bu2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
