I just installed Thunderbird on my nephew's new school-computer (I'm not
starting him on Emacs just yet) and tried out the built-in PGP-support.
I noticed that instead of including an unencrypted Subject:-header, it
is replaced by "Subject: ..." and then 'filled in' when the message is
decrypted.
I wonder if anyone has looked into adapting Gnus to do something similar?
Or maybe just do the same extraction and 'filling in' of the Subject:
when reading an encrypted email sent from Thunderbird.
It looks like what Thunderbird does it that it generates an
encrypted.asc which decrypts to a MIME message, which has a part that
includes the Subject:-header:
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="80MRq3onMnRYcWyMqpzN3xR7VKumL3WsW";
protected-headers="v1"
Subject: Dette er emnelinien
From: Test Testersen <t...@koldfront.dk>
To: =?UTF-8?Q?Adam_Sj=c3=b8gren?= <a...@koldfront.dk>
Message-ID: <f66d7c92-9cfb-28ec-3f50-5e7c1132c...@koldfront.dk>
So the display-part is perhaps easier than the sending part.
I also noticed that Thunderbird included an Autocrypt:-header, which
seems to include the public key of the sender - I haven't looked into
it, but it might be worth adding support for that in Gnus as well? Or
maybe it's a waste of bandwidth...
Best regards,
Adam
