Package: mailcrypt Version: 3.5.8-3 Severity: important I ran into #234954 (8-bit characters causing signatures created via mailcrypt to be invalid) again and spent an annoying amount of time trying to figure out why.
It turns out that if language-environment is UTF-8 mailcrypt-sign will mangle the signature of a buffer/file with non-ASCII (but valid UTF-8) characters in it. If I set language-environment to Latin-1, the problem disappears. To reproduce: o wget http://people.ubuntu.com/~james/misc/utf-8.changes o Set the language environment to UTF-8 o Use mailcrypt-sign to sign the buffer/file o Save the buffer/file somewhere and try to validate the signature with gpg -> it fails o Set the language environment to Latin-1 o Use mailcrypt-sign to sign the original buffer/file o Save the resulting buffer/file somewhere and try to validate the signature with gpg -> it works -- James -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
