Hi, after proposing the initial version of `notmuch-autocrypt` last year, I have finally gotten around to digging deeper into notmuch itself. As you might have noticed by reading my other mails to this list, my primary motivation for working on `notmuch-autocrypt` is to improve the interoperability between notmuch and Delta Chat. Delta Chat has recently started to extend the use of RFC 9788-style email header protection. Specifically, the latest stable release of Delta Chat seems to use header protection for the following headers (at the very least):
* Subject (this is already supported by notmuch) * From, To, and Date (still missing in notmuch) * Autocrypt (also missing in notmuch) Attached, you find a patch set that addresses these issues -- as well as some of the steps towards Autocrypt support discussed in November last year. The patch set is structured as follows: * Patch 0001-* adds test cases covering protected From, To, and Date headers as produced by Delta Chat. * Patch 0002-* adds support for protected From, To, Cc, Bcc, Reply-To, and Date headers. This fixes the test cases added in patch 0001-*. I added Cc, Bcc, and Reply-To to this patch as they seemed to be easy targets where I would not expect too many unforeseen problems going forward. * Patch 0003-* adds support for protected Message-ID, In-Reply-To, and References headers. These seem a lot more risky than the headers added in patch 0002-*, which is why I separated them. Also note that this patch breaks at least one unit test (see commit message for more details). I do not know what else this patch might break, as notmuch was built with the assumption that Message-ID in particular remains stable, so it might misbehave when reindexing decrypted messages yields different ids. Until now, Delta Chat still uses the same values for the protected and unprotected version for these headers. However, we might want to be prepared for when they start spoofing the values of the unprotected version. * Patches 0004-*, 0005-*, and 0006-* add support for Autocrypt by (0004-*) parsing protected Autocrypt headers, (0005-*) adding the content of the effective Autocrypt header of a message to json and sexp output, and (0006-*) adding `tag:autocrypt` to messages that contain an Autocrypt header. One thing that is still missing from this patch set is an update to the `header-mask` which is produced in `notmuch-show.c` and included in json and sexp output. I also noticed that `notmuch show --format=text` still displays the unprotected headers, so the part that produces this format still needs updating as well. I also might have overlooked any number of other things (I did not even run the entire test suite yet) and I am sure that a more competent C/C++ programmer could implement things in a more elegant manner. Therefore, comments, suggestions, and all other kinds of help with these patches are greatly appreciated. Best Frank
>From e6469a3043ea5b094a61622820263b83da25c3af Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frank Seifferth <[email protected]> Date: Thu, 18 Dec 2025 17:41:07 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/7] Add more test cases for protected headers Some versions of Delta Chat recently started to send spoofed headers that are overridden by the protected headers of OpenPGP-encrypted messages. Currently, notmuch uses the spoofed headers rather than the real ones, with the subject being the sole exception. This commit adds test cases for the following three headers: Date, To, and From. The example messages were modelled after what Delta Chat produces, which (in my opinion) look like it should be valid. --- test/T356-protected-headers.sh | 77 ++++++++++++++++++-

In contrast to the previous commit, I am not entirely sure what the ramifications of supporting these additional headers are. One thing I noticed is that updating the Message-ID field breaks the subtest "identify messages that had a legacy display part skipped during indexing" in "test/T356-protected-headers.sh". I do not know if this indicates a bug in the implementation or merely a bug in the test script. This issue should definitely be investigated further before this commit makes it into any kind of stable release. --- lib/index.cc | 8 ++++++++ lib/notmuch-private.h | 4 ++++ notmuch-show.c | 9 ++++++++- test/T356-protected-headers.sh | 5 +++-- util/crypto.c | 27 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ util/crypto.h | 3 +++ 6 files changed, 53 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/lib/index.cc b/lib/index.cc index a2a54906..c0c5f76a 100644 --- a/lib/index.cc +++ b/lib/index.cc @@ -770,6 +770,14 @@ _notmuch_message_index_file (notmuch_message_t *message, if (msg_crypto && msg_crypto->payload_date) { _notmuch_message_update_date (message, msg_crypto->payload_date);
