            Bug ID: 3088
           Summary: Decrypting of S/MIME email causes client to lose
                    sender information
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Claws Mail
           Version: 3.9.3
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: Plugins/Privacy
          Assignee: users at lists.claws-mail.org
          Reporter: swillenberger at upsicorp.com

Distro: Archlinux x86_64 (kernel 3.12.9-2-ARCH)
Summary: Trying to reply to decrypted s/mime email messages is made difficult
by the lack of original sender's information being supplied to the compose
windows To: line and template fields.

Test case 1:
Receive smime encrypted email and decrypt. Decrypted content appears in message
preview pane. Top of preview does not contain From: To: Subject: or Date:
lines. When hitting reply, the address box (To:) is left blank and the message
templates do not contain any information (e.g. instead of "On <date>\n<sender>
wrote:" the reply composition consists of "On \n  wrote:").

Test case 2:
Receive smime encrypted email and do not supply password -- decryption fails.
In this case, the preview pane contains:
From: <sender>
To: <recipient>
Subject: <subject>
Date: <date with tz>

[smime.p7m application/x-pkcs-7-mime (size) ]

Further details: 
Using the icons on the right side of the message preview pane, the top icon
usually contains the full email (message/rfc822), and the icons below contain
any decrypted content and then the "gear" icon for the pk7 content (signature,
etc). 

In test case 1: the "@" icon (message/rfc822) contains just the text part + the
pk7 part, the text icon contains the message/text part, and the gear contains
the pk7 part. When clicking on the gear icon, a duplicate icon of the
message/text appears directly above the gear icon.

In text case 2: the "@" icon contains the generic headers (From: To: Subject:
Date:) , a blank body, and the pk7 attachment. The only other icon is the pk7
icon.
