Topic: broken clearsign after sending

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

I usually encounter a bug which is horrible.
When I write long line in my mail on Gmail, when sending the mail Gmail truncate the mail so the line are never longer than 75 characters (It think).
When I did put a clearsign signature, Gmail add some end-of-line character that compromise the signature. Isn't it not possible to truncate the text before a clearsign ? (maybe with a confirmation from the user... :s )

The problem isn't specific to Gmail but to all interface where the text is modified between the editing pane and the shown result (eg it also occurs on this forum where the half of my signature are not good once the message posted)

Arnaud

ps: maybe it was already pointed out but I didn't find it explicitly
pps: I add some text so Askimet will let me post without being banned smile

before the "preview" I get this when I verify the signature:
$gpg --verify mail
gpg: Signature made Thu Jan 22 08:36:30 2009 CET using RSA key ID F2C4EF21
gpg: Good signature from "Arnaud Ongenae (signature only) <aongenae@gmail.com>"
gpg:                 aka "Arnaud Ongenae (ucl purpose) <arnaud.ongenae@student.uclouvain.be>"
gpg:                 aka "Arnaud Ongenae <arnaud.ongenae@osmoteam.net>"
gpg:                 aka "[jpeg image of size 3849]"

after the "preview" I get this:
$gpg --verify mail
gpg: Signature made Thu Jan 22 08:36:30 2009 CET using RSA key ID F2C4EF21
gpg: BAD signature from "Arnaud Ongenae (signature only) <aongenae@gmail.com>"

Re: broken clearsign after sending

We already truncate mail who are too long...

Use openpgp/mime wink

Ok, it works when I choose "sign" and "inline" option in Gmail interface,
but I want it working outside the gmail interface (eg in this forum).

Moreover, I like to check the signature before sending the mail, I don't
find how to achieve this with the new Gmail's interface

Thank you for your extremely fast answers

Arnaud

Re: broken clearsign after sending

You can't wink

Except by using the contextual menu

I know that I can't and I also know that the contextual menu's
clearsign doesn't trunkate the message before signing which get
me back to my original feature request...
Is it possible to trunkate the message before (clear)signing it ?

Re: broken clearsign after sending

No hmm

But notice using openpgp/mime sign will never fail, so you don't need to check them wink

'never fails' make me smile , in computer science it's quite
audacious to say this , that make me remember this:

'Les trois  grands mensonges de l'informatique :
Ca marche. - C'est compatible. - Ca sort bientôt.'

If you can't trunkate the message , could you add a vertical
line in the text editor at position 60 for example , so I know
when I have to press the 'enter' key ?

Regards

Arnaud

ps: even if it works while sending mail it doesn't work in
this forum

Re: broken clearsign after sending

By never fail I mean 'never fail dues to this kind of problems' wink

You can easily truncate your message at 60 characters, I won't add a bar for that wink
