Package: emacs22-el Version: 22.1+1-2 Severity: normal -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
When i use mml-secure-message-sign-pgpmime (C-c C-m s p), in an up-to-date lenny emacs22 installation, it invokes mml2015-pgg-sign to sign the active message. The resulting internal message part (the part that is signed, not the signature) does not have a Content-Type: header, however. You can see an example of one such message here: http://marc.info/?l=openssh-unix-dev&m=119212056224122&q=raw Note the lack of a Content-Type: header after the first --=-=-= separator. RFC 2045 seems to suggest that a Content-Type: header should be present for every MIME message, in every part, though it grants that a default assumption of text/plain is reasonable. Why not explicitly declare a Content-Type header before signing? I noticed this particular issue because pipermail (mailman's archiving tool) seems to ignore mime parts without an explicit Content-Type. The message linked above shows up in its original mailman archive without the message body: http://lists.mindrot.org/pipermail/openssh-unix-dev/2007-October/025812.html While this blank message presentation is probably a bug in pipermail (i'm following up with them about it [0]), it would be nice for pgg-signed messages to include an explicit Content-Type (maybe just text/plain?) for the body of the messages, to be a little more "conservative in what you emit". I've also heard (but not verified) a report from a friend that his blackberry displays a blank message body when he looks at signed mails from me. I realize that the worst bugs here are most likely in other tools, but it would be good if pgg could play nicer with them as well. Thanks so much for maintaining these packages in debian! --dkg [0] https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=759841&group_id=103&atid=100103 - -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (200, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages emacs22-el depends on: ii emacs22-common 22.1+1-2 The GNU Emacs editor's shared, arc emacs22-el recommends no packages. - -- no debconf information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iQIVAwUBRzDtmszS7ZTSFznpAQJfrg/+MTWcmC8A7BBcz4g1m88HjziWo4lOYAG8 icRJyPhWkNsgNRjBAg+Yd+HTcgyIOhgj1YEWv9zXfGmCWw9CVtB4I/d7/uEo9ZAV iw+b+hO6/BOlkR1X6ruZ593cY5fHFuZWfEn+0DE04MNjk+M55eeUBzj3tr/4fkfj wJ4EXTWYAiZXbtJ7L06SHntgfXx0jv7jxnAQ5hoDB/UvxiOjRCqNcR4a2kNXcxaY K1S7E1J9dVT66zQUbCSqmE5hYLayzPNiidbtXCQ+mifBY7SAL+giHZm7/YgyRLiW LhX6Q9KmKEoLZH4EQj4d0FGu+xE6iCair3HCjPDGOZBd/QdrZzL4OwoVy44fuRgc QgG/FzAZWQcqNenspnl7iwK4PxE2+Ewwdgr5Lydak7MOdkz/DYI/NfagrN5hy8bx Of7wFi+IB3S4qrI62Miq9hu1A7fKEjkMFNQhLvY283JdJc3eFdoCK3564+BmZnHb oZDWpMDlAs2maBf2NbZ/cUZpVK1fq0CcTuV0Iy2UljAoMPTue6YHmlk7nQQIOKvH LsSatFE0AC1hOefGUnaVWONrg3qkt7BBLYqyrUmiBtvRKz/mJ0cWVbJAB8L1CHFG rQpT1SCR6y92p854+wtfzs+WWxh0yfrvZ/X4LV4NpRDE7MJP14Vcg1p0+L2rg6SZ LqLRp6zqBsg= =1MOR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
