#3067: PGP/MIME signatures incorrectly assigned "Content-Disposition: inline"
I believe that mutt is incorrectly assigning the Content-Disposition of
PGP/MIME signature attachments as "inline". This causes some MUAs (eg.
gmail) to feel the need to display the attached signature inline, instead
of as an attachment. I believe that the Content-Disposition should
instead be set to "attachment", since that is in fact what it is.
I notice, though, that the Content-Disposition is specifically hard coded
in the mutt pgp.c source to be "DISPINLINE" instead of "DISPATTACH". I
wonder why this is, since it appears to be a deliberate choice. This
seems wrong to me, but I would be curious to hear a justification.
The patch is very very simple. It involves changing
[source:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:73a180edce53#L1111] from:
{{{
t->disposition = DISPINLINE;
}}}
to
{{{
t->disposition = DISPATTACH;
}}}
I applied this patch to the Debian Lenny version 1.5.17 of mutt and it
worked perfectly. I haven't checked it with the current head of your
repo, but I have no reason to suspect it wouldn't work.
If there is reasonable justification for keeping the default to be
DISPINLINE, then maybe we could make a patch where the value of the
Content-Disposition is set by a mutt variable, herefore allowing users to
easily change it if need be. I think that it should we set DISPATTACH,
though, as PGP/MIME signatures should be attachments, not inline.
Thanks for maintaining such a great MUA.
