I'm not sure whether I should be asking in here or in the Enigmail group, so I'm trying here first - please refer me to the other group if it is more appropriate.
I've just changed over to GnuPG 2.1.x and have been trying out an ECC key too. By and large, it all seems to work well (signatures verify, and encryption/unencryption works fine too) , but whilst sending test messages back and forth to myself using new and old keys for signing and encryption I noticed a couple of odd things, and it would be useful to know if they are related to GnuPG 2.1.x, or Enigmail (or even the ECC key - although that isn't likely). I'm using PGP/MIME for all messages. The first problem is trivial - if I send an HTML message, the signature verifies correctly, but the body of the message vanishes without trace - nothing at all shows up when trying to read the received message. There's an easy answer, I know - don't use HTML. I'm quite happy to do that, but I'm old and I forget :-( The second is a bit of a problem and will look odd if it happens when I send mail to others. Signing a message with either my old key or the new ECC key, and sending it to myself encrypted to both keys results in no problems with the signature or decryption, and the message appears OK. Above, and as part of, the message text, appear two of the message headers:- Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable This would look a bit odd to another recipient - albeit they don't prevent the rest of the message from being read. Why am I asking in here - well it didn't happen with the same versions of Thunderbird/Enigmail and GnuPG 2.0.x . That doesn't mean it isn't an Enigmail thing, of course, and I'm hoping you'll be able to tell me which it is. Please feel free to laugh out loud if I'm missing something stupidly obvious - I did tell you I was old :-) Regards, Bob
