Hi,

why is it so difficult to import a PGP/GPG-Key ?

I got a PGP-key by mail, but it was sent as an attachement.

So, I tried to send it to myself, encrypted, so that Sqwebmail would recognize it. But when I upload it, it's only uploaded as text/plain or application/octet-stream (Mozilla 1.7.2 and Opera 7.54) - and sqwebmail doesn't recognize is as GPG-key again.

The MIME type for PGP keys is application/pgp-keys.

Yes, but how do I set that when I upload the keys via sqwebmail ?

When you select an existing key in sqwebmail, and attach it to a message, sqwebmail sets the correct MIME type.

If you are using some other mail client to send keys via E-mail, it is that mail client's responsibility to set the correct MIME types.

The webserver knows about these, though:

ROOT@bsd# egrep -i gpg mime.types ROOT@bsd# egrep -i pgp mime.types application/pgp-encrypted application/pgp-keys application/pgp-signature

None of these MIME types are associated with a file extension. You need set, for example, "key" as the extension for the application/pgp-keys MIME type. Then uploading filename.key sets the MIME type accordingly./

Thank you. I changed it like this:

application/pgp-encrypted application/pgp-keys key gpg pgp application/pgp-signature

But the files are still either of type application/octet-stream or text/plain, depending on weather the key is ascii-armored or not. I tried to upload them with sqwebmail, squirrelmail and IMP. And with Evolution and Mozilla 1.7.2.

This is apache 2.0.50 and sqwebmail 4.0.7 on FreeBSD 4.9.

I just tried to disable the mime_magic module, but that didn't help, either.

(I stopped and started apache multiple times)

Any more ideas ?

The thing is, I really like the way encryption and decryption is handled by sqwebmail, it's just always a problem to get any kinds of keys imported ;-)
