Bug ID: 3904
Summary: support for "protected-headers" is missing in GPG
plugin
Classification: Unclassified
Product: Claws Mail
Version: other
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: Plugins/Privacy/PGP
Assignee: users at lists.claws-mail.org
Reporter: peter.mueller at link38.eu
Some MUAs such as Thunderbird (via the Enigmail plugin) have implemented some
protection against metadata leakage in GPG.
One of them is called "protected-headers" and embeds the original subject line
in a PGP/MIME message. When an e-mail is decrypted, the original title is
recovered from these data.
Claws Mail does not support this at the moment so GPG messages with protected
headers usually show the subject line "Encrypted message".
Please see
- https://github.com/autocrypt/memoryhole
- https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/21880
for details.
Apart from the subject line, this bug has no effect on GPGs functionality at
all, but it would be nice to see it implemented.
