Message-ID: <6fd87965a2e243b190678edb6c4b9cefbde9ae66.1248369563.git.dato@net.com.org.es> (raw)

Amended patch follows, with a better wording that I had seemingly not
committed. Sorry for the noise.

+      # This is gross. This decrypted payload could very well be a multipart
+      # element itself, as opposed to a simple payload. For example, a
+      # multipart/signed element, like those generated by Mutt when encrypting
+      # and signing a message (instead of just clearsigning the body).
+      # Supposedly, decrypted_payload being a multipart element ought to work
+      # out nicely because Message::multipart_encrypted_to_chunks() runs the
+      # decrypted message through message_to_chunks() again to get any
+      # children. However, it does not work as intended because these inner
+      # payloads need not carry a MIME-Version header, yet they are fed to
+      # RMail as a top-level message, for which the MIME-Version header is
+      # required. This causes for the part not to be detected as multipart,
+      # hence being shown as an attachment. If we detect this is happening,
+      # we force the decrypted payload to be interpreted as MIME.
