#652 Empty body when decrypting to folder
I have a set of PGP-encrypted mails that are decrypted and displayed correctly by Enigmail, but that are left with an empty body when using the "Decrypt to folder" or the Enigmail filter actions to create a decrypted copy of the mail.
This happens both with the release version of Enigmail and with the nightly build.
I can provide an example email and a debug log, but I would prefer not to publish them here. Could I send them somewhere non-public?
Can you please attach a sample message? I don't need to be able to decrypt it, but just to see the message structure
I'm attaching a sample with some bits edited (host names, subject), and the PGP block snipped.
And this is the result of "Decrypt to folder". Again, I have edited the host names and subject string, but here I haven't snipped anything.
Was that enough, or should I post something else?
I can successfully decrypt such messages. Can you please create a debug log file (repeat the decryption attempt; then follow these steps:
Done.
Excuse me, but you attached a log with 17 mails that were possibly decrypted (or not). I cannot debug this. Please limit your test to only 1 attempt that shows the failing behavior.
Trying again.
Sorry about the previous one, I was careful to only get a single try and clean it up - so I don't know what happened. This time the log is shorter for sure...
According to the log, the decryption was successful. The log looks exactly as I expected, and identical to my own log. Can you try to decrypt to a local folder instead of an IMAP folder (just as a test)?
Those decryptions were already done to a local folder.
I just tried again and diffed the log, and the only differences are in the timestamps (and the parts I masked out)
I don't know if this hits you also, but since approx. half a year I regulary have corrupted index files. This is VERY bad in conjunction with decryption. If logs show that your decryption was successful but your message isn't, pleas try to re-create the local index by "Repairing" the folder you saved your message to: Rightclick on the folder, choose Properties, hit Repair folder button. HTH.
Thank you for the tip. I just tried, but nothing changes.
In the properties window of the folder there is a path to the file ("Location"). I checked that file with 'less' in a Terminal window. The message really is cut off, as shown in my attachment "decrypted.txt" from November 13.
I have re-written the decrypt-to-folder function (and the filter action) from scratch using a different approach to obtain the full message. I hope that this is fixed now.
