About openpgp/mime support
January 11, 2009 – 1:03 am by Maximilien Cuony [The_glu] So, if you read the previous post I’m working on it 
I continue my work of yesterday, and now:
- Openpgp/mime signs are ok
- Inline of (old) firegpg seem to be still ok, enigmail are ok too, except when the mail is sent in iso-blabla with specials chars
- Encrypted mails in openpgp/mime and inline work too.
I have to work on encrypted mail with attachments and encrypted+signed mail as defined in standards.
There is a problem with big mails: FireGPG has to download them to check signs, but if the mail has a lot of attachments (like 10 mo ), FireGPG wait for the 10mo..
And of course, next step is to send openpgp/mime mails

Could you put in an option to not check if it’s above a certain size, and then only check if the user clicks something manually? I don’t like it doing it automatically on large emails (although I don’t get many large emails which this would apply to)

1 octet = 8 bits (octet = group of eight)
1024 octets = 1 Mo
10240 octets = 10 Mo

Now, is it possible to prevent firegpg to prevent checking the attachments automatically?
It really sucks that FireGPG tries to download the attachments without being instructed to, specially if your Internet is slow.
Anyway this is a very good work.
Tanks

FlouSH, maximilien is obviously french. French people have this Mos (megaoctets) instead of MBs, ordinateurs instead of computers and they also have wonderfuly alien AZERTY keyboard layout. Trust me, once you sit down in front of french computer, you are basically fucked up.
