Hello. I feel like this must be an F.A.Q. but I could find no mention of it in the searchable archives or the FAQ-O-Matic.
Anyway, it seems that evolution has a bug in message display that affects GPG-signed email sent to mailman 2.1.x lists (when the GPG signature uses PGP/MIME). Mailman adds the list's signature as a MIME attachment, and for some reason evolution shows ONLY the list signature, and not the body of the message at all! This is apparently fixed in Evolution 1.4.3, but unfortunately a large number of our users are using prior versions of evolution, like 1.2.2 that's included in Red Hat Linux 9. I suspect this is true of many users around the community. Though this is an evolution bug, most of our users are seeing it as a "mailman problem," because suddenly they cannot view their messages after we upgraded to mailman 2.1.x. Does anyone have any ideas or workarounds? Is there any way to make mailman 2.1.2 go back to the old behavior that doesn't use MIME to add the signature (or just skips it for MIME messages) ? Note: I've also heard that Outlook Express has a similar problem reading GPG-signed emails with evolution's MIME-added signature, so this isn't really uniquely an evolution problem. But Outlook Express handles GPG pretty pitifully anyway, so I'm not worrying about that. Thanks for any advice, Jeremy -- /---------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Jeremy Portzer [EMAIL PROTECTED] trilug.org/~jeremy | | GPG Fingerprint: 712D 77C7 AB2D 2130 989F E135 6F9F F7BC CC1A 7B92 | \---------------------------------------------------------------------/
