enigmail unable to decrypt/show mail

[meinberg2]

Hi,

I have a similar problem to the one detailed in this thread:
http://sourceforge.net/p/enigmail/forum/support/thread/4add2b69/

The mail-body is blank and stays that way after clicking decrypt. It doesn't show any attachments.

If I save the mail and decrypt it with gpg, gpg can decrypt the mail correctly.

This is the (slightly censored) source of the mail in question:

User-Agent: KMail/4.8.5 (Linux/3.2.0-53-generic; KDE/4.8.5; i686; ; )

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/encrypted; boundary="nextPartyyy"; protocol="application/pgp-encrypted"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

--nextPartyyy
Content-Type: application/pgp-encrypted
Content-Disposition: attachment

Version: 1
--nextPartyyy
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Content-Disposition: inline; filename="msg.asc"

-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----
Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux)
-----END PGP MESSAGE-----

--nextPartyyy--

Why doesn't this mail work with enigmail?

Thanks for any help!

I suspect that this is bug 77 ([bugs:#77]).

Can you please copy the complete set of message headers? You can omit those headers containing email addresses.

ok.. now the forum seems to be stable enough for postinng.
another try posting the quotes of the source, even if don't understand which headers were missing (but i don't really understand how mail works internaly)

Yes that's bug 77. Content-Transfer-Encoding is specified, but unnecessarily, as there are only MIME parts present (which have their own Content-* declarations).

As a test, you could save the message, remove the line starting with "Content-Transfer-Encoding", and then import or open it again. Decryption should work.
