Hi Phil,

just F.Y.I, I am seeing several emails from you each week,
including the one I'm replying to here, that have no body!

Maybe its my email reader (Thunderbird).

Is anyone else having this problem?



Cheers,
Peter

P.S.  This mail has nothing to do with #1091541, its just an example.

I don’t receive empty emails from Phil, and I don’t receive any email problems
several times per week, but I do receive truncated emails from Phil about
twice a month. So far I haven’t been able to determine the cause, and when I
ask him to resend them to me they come through in full. I am using KMail, but
I don’t think the client matters.

Hi Peter,
Philip's email does have a body. Using the `thunderbird`'s `View Source`
shows a proper body. It also shows up for me correctly if I set `Message
Body as` -> `Simple HTML`.
I think it is a bug in thunderbird, since the body does seem to be
regular text, and thunderbird should just render it as such (but indeed
the mail you quoted does not show a body for me in Thunderbird by
default either when having `Message Body as` -> `Plain text`).
Best regards,
Niels

Hi Peter and Niels,

This is the first time I have had such a report.

All my emails are sent as plain text from Evolution on RHEL 9.x.

As Niels has indicated, this maybe an issue with thunderbird. I hope this can
be rectified soon, I may not have much good to say, but I do like know people
see my nonsense. :-)

Regards

Phil

Same here, blank email in Thunderbird.

View source shows it's a normal email. Its Content-Type implies it's
signed, however there is no signature at the end of it.

Hi,

Thanks for that report!

My (outdated) version of Thunderbird displays them but I kept getting
"server errors" trying to display these messages with the webmail (a
customized Roundcube) so I investigated, and it appears that the PGP
signature is missing in the received message.

( ^-- correct end of multipart MIME message)

The signature was present in the message as received by the BTS [1], but
apparently the BTS drops the signature while forwarding the message.
Could possibly be a "feature" if it changed the MIME type while doing
so, but done this way this looks definitely like a bug. I would suggest
Phil to file a bug against the BTS, reporting this misbehaviour.
