[pmmail-list] bug report for PMMail Pro 2.20.2030 with PGP

[Robert Dahlem]

Hi,

The web page states two things:

- PGP toolkit updated to v1.7.8
- FIXED: Messages with high ASCII characters are converted to QP before
  being encrypted. This ruins the decryption of the message.

Well, these statements seem to be simply false.

This is what the beta produces ("-" overwritten with "="):
=quote on===============================================================
X-Mailer: PMMail 2000 Professional (2.20.2030) For Windows 2000 
(5.0.2195;1)
[...]

=====BEGIN PGP MESSAGE=====
Version: PGPsdk version 1.7.1 (C) 1997-1999 Network Associates, Inc. and 
its affiliated companies.
=quote off==============================================================

No trace of any PKP toolkit 1.7.8

I'm not astonished that people are complaining here about ununsable PGP 
version 7 ...

What the beta produces when using diacriticals (i.e. character a with " 
on top) is still party undecryptable in Outlook Express and even in 
PMMail itself, depending on the setting of quoted-printable/8bit in 
PMMail, Properties, Encoding format

When viewed with PMMail 2.10.2010:
from 2.10.2010, QP : OK
from 2.10.2010, 8b : decryptable, but diacriticals converted to =nn=
from 2.20.2030, QP : ascii armor input incomplete
                     (but is displayed correctly nevertheless)
from 2.20.2030, 8b : ascii armor input incomplete

When viewed with Outlook Express 5.50.4133.2400:
from 2.10.2010, QP : corrupt data
from 2.10.2010, 8b : decryptable, but diacriticals converted to =nn=
from 2.20.2030, QP : OK
from 2.20.2030, 8b : ascii armor input incomplete

Would you guys PLEASE consider trying something like a regression test 
before throwing betas on the market? :-(


Yet another point: I tried to reinstall 2.10.2010 over the beta. What it 
came up with was still 2.20.2030. I had to rename PMMAILW.EXE and to 
reinstall. Now: Are there still beta DLLs around on my system?

Regards,
        Robert
