Hi all. I need some help. Our wonderful corporate IT department has added a virus scanner to the main MTA. "Good for them", you might say. However, this particular scanner communicates its result by adding an extra text/plain attachment to the top of the mail. AIUI, this violates the PGP/MIME RFC, and most certainly breaks mutt.
For example... Picking a mail recently posted on the list, # From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] # To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] # Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] # Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha1;protocol="application/pgp-signat # ure"; boundary="USQ0BwiCE5W4XvtQ" # # --USQ0BwiCE5W4XvtQ # Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii # Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit # # ----------------------------------------- (on the network) # # email-body was scanned and no virus found # --------------------------------------------------------- # # --USQ0BwiCE5W4XvtQ # Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii # Content-Disposition: inline # Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable # # Rahul -- # # =2E..and then Rahul Rekapalli said... # %=20 # % Hi, # # Hello!
