Hi,
Quoting Michael M Slusarz <slus...@horde.org>:
The MIME/IMAP/attachment code has been completely rewritten in IMP
5 and, regardless, the outputted message *is* valid MIME. However,
you really shouldn't be using 'Forward Attachments Only' - you
should be using 'Forward Entire Message' (I am very close to
removing the other 2 options in IMP 5 completely).
The 'Forward Attachments Only' is needed. IMP4 has problems showning
Messages Forwarded "Forwarding Entire Message" if the original
Messages contained Attachments and was signed with SMIME. I can't
remember if the forwarded message had to be signed that the problem
would be shown.
See http://bugs.horde.org/ticket/4297
How will/should IMP5 handle Forwarding signed messages?
It forwards the entire signed message. Thinking about this more, this
makes the most sense. If I send an encrypted message to someone, I
*don't* want that person to forward that message to anyone else that
can't decrypt the message - that message is meant for the the
receiving person only (that is the whole purpose of encryption).
Obviously we can't prohibit the receiver from copying/pasting text or
downloading/reattaching an attachment in a new message, but this
requires active steps on the part of the user rather than allowing
simple forwarding via a button.
