#48 Doing a mailto and a fileto

[Anonymous]

Greetings,
I must say that soupermail has been very very useful
to me and I'm very appriciative that you not only
wrote it, but made it free. I ran into a problem when
trying to set up a web form recently so I thought I
would let you know. I intended for the form to send a
pgp encrypted email and create a pgp encrypted comma-
deliminated file when it was submitted. The problem
happens with the templates. On an easlier version of
soupermail, both the file and the email would use the
email's template, completely ignoring the file
template. I upgraded and now the exact opposite
happens, both use the file template and ignore the
mail template. Is this a known issue, or maybe I'm
just completely messing something up? =p Let me know,
thanks very much.

I can confirm that this is a problem that I am having with
Soupermail 1.0.8 (under Linux RH6.2)

OK - this is pretty much a show-stopping bug in my opinion.
If you want to send important mail *at all* from a web
form, you will almost certainly want to keep a "hard copy"
of it on the server. It therefore follows that if you want
to send encrypted mail, you will also want to encrypt the
file the script writes to. There's not much point in doing
so otherwise.

The fact that Soupermail does not actually do this (well,
in any useful way at least - the format of the file isn't
conducive to putting in a database or whatever once
decrypted) is by far and away it's most serious bug.

I'm surprised the author hasn't shown any interest in
solving the problem. Perhaps he's holding out for a crate
of beer ... ;-)
