    Dear Sirs,

    i use Win7/64 Thunderbird 38.2, Enigmail 1.8.2, GnuPG 2.1.7, german
    when i´ve got a PGP/MIME encrypted Mail, i can decrypt the message, but the Mailtextwindow is empty. I see only a grey bar with "Enigmail Entschlüsselte Nachricht" (that means decrypted Message) with a Button "Details" (with Menuoptions "Enigmail Sicherheitsinfo" (that means security Info) and "Enigmal Sicherheitsinfo kopieren" (that means copy security Info).
    I have it in all combinations of Text- or HTML-Mails with and without Attachments.

    With Non-PGP/MIME encrypted Mails, everything works fine.

    I tested the four PGP/MIME encrypted Mails with another Client: Win7/64 Outlook 2010, OutlookPrivacyPlugin v1 BETA-49, GnuPG 2.1.7, german. Here works everything fine. The Mails would be right decrypted and shown.

    Can somebody reproduce my case?

    PS: I have encrypted the four PGP/MIME with this: Win7/64 Thunderbird 38.2, Enigmail 1.8.2, GnuPG 2.1.7

    Regards and thanks in advance.

    There are additional CRLFs between the boundary and the header fields which is not allowed.

    That's nothing that Enigmail or Thunderbird could fix on the recipient side.

    Do you know which email tool created these messages?

    The PGP/MIME message was created by Thunderbird with Enigmail. I sent it to myself. It's the same message in both cases. For the first one I saved the received message as .eml and decrypted the pgp part with GnuPG on the command line. The second one is saved decrypted by Thunderbird via a filter action.

    Can you please send me such a message (patrick AT enigmail DOT net)?

    It's done. It should read "This is a test."

    It turned out that schmi was using GnuPG 2.1.7 (https://www.gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32-2.1.7_20150811.exe) which produces wrong output. Using gpg4win resolves this. I will report the error to the GnuPG developers.

    Hi Patrick & Schmi, thanks for your support. I´ll wait of the new gnupg-Version > 2.1.7.
    Regards, Mario

    I'd strongly suggest you use the latest version of gpg4win instead. GnuPG 2.1.x is bleeding edge.

    GPG4Win beta works with GPG Modern (v 2.1.x).
