Deleting attachment from signed email
Hi.
Although this has been an issue in 2005 already, I was not able to find any fix
or workaround.
Problem:
I am not able to remove an attachment or the signature from a signed message.
Reproduce:
Use muttrc from below, which is quite minimal. Change to a mailbox (on imap)
that contains a signed message (indicated by an 's'). Select that message.
Press 'v'. Select attachment to be deleted. Press 'd'. Message area displays
"Deletion of attachments from encrypted messages is unsupported." and the
attachment is not marked for deletion.
How can I do this? Is it a principal problem, or a bug in mutt?
I'm running a Debian GNU/Linux lenny/sid, with a standard 2.6.22-2-686 kernel.
My '~/.mutt/muttrc':
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Define the '+' shortcut, and the entry point for the folder browser (c?)
set folder = "imaps://********@****************"
set imap_pass = "********"
# Automatically log in to this mailbox at startup
set spoolfile = "+INBOX"
# where to store postponed messages
set postponed = "+Drafts"
# where to store sent mail
set record = "+Sent"
# where to store read mail
set mbox = "+Read"
# where to move mail when it was read
mbox-hook INBOX +Read
# ask before moving read mail to mbox
set move = ask-yes
# do not move read flagged messages to +Read
set keep_flagged = yes
# how often (in seconds) mutt should look for new mail
set mail_check = 600
# cache headers of emails below this directory
set header_cache = "/home/sk/.mutt/cache"

Here's the output of 'mutt -v'
