I just installed Thunderbird on my nephew's new school-computer (I'm not starting him on Emacs just yet) and tried out the built-in PGP-support.
I noticed that instead of including an unencrypted Subject:-header, it is replaced by "Subject: ..." and then 'filled in' when the message is decrypted. I wonder if anyone has looked into adapting Gnus to do something similar? Or maybe just do the same extraction and 'filling in' of the Subject: when reading an encrypted email sent from Thunderbird. It looks like what Thunderbird does it that it generates an encrypted.asc which decrypts to a MIME message, which has a part that includes the Subject:-header: Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="80MRq3onMnRYcWyMqpzN3xR7VKumL3WsW"; protected-headers="v1" Subject: Dette er emnelinien From: Test Testersen <[email protected]> To: =?UTF-8?Q?Adam_Sj=c3=b8gren?= <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> So the display-part is perhaps easier than the sending part. I also noticed that Thunderbird included an Autocrypt:-header, which seems to include the public key of the sender - I haven't looked into it, but it might be worth adding support for that in Gnus as well? Or maybe it's a waste of bandwidth... Best regards, Adam -- "Our voodoo-dolls are full of hopes" Adam Sjøgren [email protected]
