bug#68687: [PATCH] Use text/org media type

[Max Nikulin]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1057 bytes --]

Hi,

I suggest to make the media type used for Org mode files consistent with 
the one used by XDG https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/shared-mime-info
Currently Emacs has text/x-org, however "x-" prefix is not recommended 
by IANA any more, see https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6648 
"Deprecating the "X-" Prefix and Similar Constructs in Application 
Protocols"

Ideally somebody should file a request to IANA to register the text/org 
media type.
https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml
However I have no idea concerning a conflict due to the .org file name 
suffix. It was used in the past by early versions of Lotus Organizer. 
https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/vnd.lotus-organizer

I am unsure if gnus-related code should be committed to some other 
repository at first. I am not a gnus user, so I do not mind if an 
alternative change will be committed.

I see using text/org as an improvement. text/x-org is likely useless.
At least,
https://github.com/jeremy-compostella/org-msg/blob/master/org-msg.el
uses text/org, which may appear in email parts.

However, AFAIU, text/org will fall into "standards tree" in IANA media
type specification, which means that it MUST be registered, as described
in https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6838.html#section-3.1

Registering text/org media type requires syntax spec. We are
still working on format Org mode syntax specifications. See
https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/871rjhha8t.fsf@gmail.com/ and
https://orgmode.org/worg/org-syntax.html

The spec is still not fully finalized, so we are not yet initiating the
registration, as we will need to repeat it again if we decide to make
further changes (https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6838.html#section-5.5)

I agree, but since Ihor indicates that is impossible for now, we will
have to live with the current situation for at least the near future.

So I think we should install these changes, but please audit them
carefully to make sure we don't create any backward-compatibility
problems unnecessarily.  For example:

I'm not sure the removal of text/x-org in these two hunks is a good
idea: could it perhaps cause trouble to someone, e.g. if an email
message is sent from Emacs with this change and read by Emacs without
it?  (I don't use these packages, so I wouldn't know the answer.)  In
general, I'd prefer changes that add text/org without removing support
for text/x-org.

Thanks.

I do not mind if you will decide to split the suggested patch into 2 
parts and to postpone for some years hunks that affect sending. Anyway 
it would be a step toward text/org media type.

Messages sent to the emacs-orgmode mailing list last years contain mix of
- text/org
- text/x-org
- application/vnd.lotus-organizer (most popular variant)

So can you please point out which part(s) of your patch should be
installed right away?  Or post a new patch that includes only those
parts?

Thanks.

Changing of `mm-display-org-inline' may be postponed. I am curious 
however if there are a lot of users overriding their /etc/mime.types to 
avoid application/vnd.lotus-organizer.

However I am unsure whether `mm-uu-org-src-code-block-extract' is used 
to send messages. If it purpose to decode received messages then the 
change should be safe. I had a hope to receive some comments from 
developers familiar with Emacs mail clients.

I have realized that I missed `mm-automatic-display' there "text/org" 
should be added similar to `mm-inline-media-tests'.

I hope the process of finalizing the Org spec and moving to its
registration will not fall between the cracks.

You a right. I was confused reading rfc6648 that registration procedure 
had been simplified to deprecate x- prefixes. In addition, I did not 
realize that application/vnd.lotus-organizer was registered without 
format specification because this type belongs to the vendor tree, not 
standards one.
https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/vnd.lotus-organizer

I do not think it is reasonable to use a type like text/vnd.gnu.emacs.org.

Even with format specification, I am afraid, .org file name suffix may 
be an obstacle. Likely it is necessary to contact IBM and to ask them 
concerning registration of Lotus. In the optimistic scenario they may 
declare Lotus-related media types as obsolete since the product is 
discontinued.

Changing of file name suffix for Org would be more painful than updating 
emacs to use text/org instead of text/x-org.

No worries. We are slowly working on the spec. See
https://git.sr.ht/~bzg/worg/log/master/item/org-syntax.org

But finalizing the whole thing will not be fast, given our plans to
extend Org mode syntax to better suit software manuals as requested by
RMS, and to address several long-standing issues with escaping edge
cases.

What does this mean with regards to the patch?  Should we wait with
installing it until that process is done?

I see no reason to wait.
We already have people sending text/org in emails. Recognizing mime
parts marked as text/org as we already do for text/x-org will be a
clear improvement.

I am rather confused by these questions. Media types appears in the 
Content-Type header. Applications decide how to treat content basing on 
media type description. E.g. Thunderbird may be configured to display 
text attachments inline, but if the same attachment uses 
application/vnd.lotus-organizer then an external application must be 
invoked to see its text.

De-facto Org files are used in various projects. Received or fetched Org 
files must be treated with some precautions, but it is another story.

I think Richard lacks the broader context: that text/org is supposed
to appear in the Content-Type header in email messages, and the MUA is
supposed to display this content in received email messages according
to user expectations, which generally follow how Org buffers display
text.

Thanks/ I had a feeling that it was something along roughtly those
lines, but I was not sure.  Now I know.

I am concerned that the actions described above would tend to embed
Org format and Org mode more deeply into Emacs usage.

Suppose A and B are Org users.  If A knows this, and mails B a message
which contains text labaled as text/org, that won't make anyone
unhappy.  No one would have a reason to complain.

But what if C mails a message to D with text labeled as text/org and D
is not an Org user?  Will that cause Emacs to load Org?  It should
not.

What will Gnus do when the user readss a message with text labaled as
text/org?  What will Rmail do?  What will MH-E do?

These are crucial questions because the answers would determine
whether this feature pressures people to use Org mode or not.  We need
concrete answers because only that would enable us to see cleary now
whether the feature would do that if in use.

I was not aware of this issue.  Let's look at it concretely now so we
can determine what its implications are.  Have people already written
a list of these precautions?  If so, I'd like to see it.

It may or may not depending on user customization `mm-inline-media-tests'.
Just like with text/html, application/javascript, text/x-sh, images,
etc.

By default, for example, text/html gets rendered via shr.el (AFAIK). Do
you think that shr.el should not be loaded (in (require 'shr) sense)?

Even when text/org is rendered using Org mode, there is nothing
pressuring people to use Org mode there. It is just visuals. Org major
mode is not activated.

Also, it is already what Emacs does for text/x-org. This patch is merely
asking to treat text/org as text/x-org is already treated.

Max is referring to various security issues with evaluating code inside
Org mode buffers. They are known, but not relevant to Org text being
displayed in email MUA - Org never evaluates any code automatically
without user explicitly asking for it. And in MUA, Org mode is simply
used to apply faces. No other interaction with the displayed text/org
mime part is allowed.

I can believe that Org text snippets are safe in an email MUA.  

But in the general case, I don't think Org mode is quite as safe as you
implied.  The last I heard, conversion from Org mode to another format
(e.g., plain text or HTML) can result in code evaluation, without the
user authorizing it (see
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=48676).  I would not
expect random users to understand that format conversion is a
potentially risky operation.

I did not imply that Org mode is safe. I directly said that there are
security issues and that they are known.

I would strongly prefer to move discussion of Org security to a 
dedicated thread on emacs-orgmode or emacs-devel and leave this bug to 
media types used for Org.

Whenever the suggested patch committed (as a whole or in parts) or not, 
admit that Org mode is already used as media type handler for mail 
messages and downloaded files.

I have tried a couple more ideas, but have not managed to achieve code 
execution when files are loaded (assuming default or plausible user 
settings). If Org keystrokes are not active when mail messages are 
opened then it should be safe enough. (However I suspect an issue 
unrelated to code execution.) If Emacs or Org mode has severe issues 
then it is possible to exploit them even without the patch. Just send a 
message having 3 attachments covering all variants of Content-Type.

The point is to minimize discrepancy related to Org mode stuff within 
Emacs and outside of it. E.g. in default configuration Thunderbird on 
Debian 12 bookworm sends attachments as text/org. Emacs core uses 
text/x-org or application/vnd.lotus-organizer. With no action taken it 
will last further.

I am not familiar with gnus & Co code, so I am confused by (funcall 
mode) in `mm-display-inline-fontify'. Doesn't it activate the major mode 
through `mm-display-org-inline'?

On the other hand, I am afraid, changing `mm-inline-media-tests' to use

("text/org" mm-inline-text identity)
("text/x-org" mm-inline-text identity)

by default instead of `mm-display-org-inline' for safety and to avoid 
loading of Org mode will cause a lot of complains from Org users.

It creates temporary buffer, activates Org mode there, and copies back
the fontified text for display inside message.
I do not know about any security issues when one merely opens Org file
without actually executing Org mode commands.

I looked at the definition of that option, and at the function
`mm-display-inline-fontify' that it calls.  That function is
nontrivial, so I can't tell, in a short time, what it does and doesn't
do.

That is one good thing.  Maybe that means it's fine.

But you've told me little about what things `mm-display-inline-fontify' does,
only that they do not include selecting Org mode.

Could you please tell me the main things it _does_ do?

I understand now.  I agree, that is not an issue for this specific point.

AFAIU, that function copies a portion of buffer text to a temporary
buffer, determines the correct major-mode for that text, then invokes
that major-mode and fontifies the text according to that mode, and
finally copies the fontified text back into the original buffer.

This happens to me all the time (because our mailing lists are full of
such C's, and I'm one example of D), so I know what happens, at least
in Rmail: you see the text with Org markup uninterpreted, as plain
text.  Here's a random example:

  #+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (add-hook 'before-save-hook 'time-stamp)
  (require 'org-refile)
  (setq org-refile-use-cache t)
  (setq org-refile-use-outline-path t)
  (setq org-refile-targets '((nil :maxlevel . 5)))
  (setq org-goto-interface 'outline-path-completion)
  (setq large-file-warning-threshold 15000000)
  (find-file "foo.org")
  (org-refile-get-targets)
  #+end_src

With Org, the header and footer should be removed from display, and
the Lisp code should be displayed with lisp-mode fontifications.  What
I see is just plain text, including the pesky header and footer.

It isn't a catastrophe, IMO.

In any case, we already have this in the wild, it just uses
Content-type that current standards frown on.  This proposal is just
to use a different, more standard-compliant Content-type.

It's been many moons since I last looked at email attachements in any
detail, so I have some questions.

With this patch, what happens if someone is emailing using an old
version of Emacs?  Does that matter, or is this stuff based only on the
file ending?  IOW, I'm asking if it is backwards-compatible to remove
"text/org", in either direction.  Will .org files be displayed in the
same way as before or not on both new and old versions?

I've noticed on my machine that .org files have been interpreted as
application/vnd.lotus-organizer.  Presumably that's due to some local
configuration in /etc/mime.types on my distro.  Is that correct?  Is it
documented somewhere how to override that system configuration in Emacs?

But thinking about this more, why not do that unconditionally for users?
Lotus Organizer is dead, long gone, and not really relevant to anyone,
certainly not to the overwhelming majority of Emacs users.  On the off
chance that someone is opening such files from Emacs, they could just
revert that locally.  WDYT?

Org files are plain text files and have no specific signature that would 
allow tools like libmagic to unambiguously distinguish them from other 
text files. Rare files have explicit "# -*- mode: org-mode -*-" header. 
So there is no other way besides file name extensions when a message is 
composed or a file is served by a HTTP server. Clients should rely on 
the Content-Type header.

Old mailers will continue sending messages with 
application/vnd.lotus-organizer, text/x-org, or text/org media type.

I suggest to use text/org instead of text/x-org.

I do not see a better way toward consistency in respect to the media type.

 From my point of view, it is a reason to not bother concerning removing 
of "text/x-org" from `mailcap-mime-extensions'

> Presumably that's due to some local

There are 2 projects maintaining /etc/mime.types, they follows IANA 
registry, so have application/vnd.lotus-organizer. XDG shared-mime-info 
project (another media types DB, not /etc/mime.types) has text/org.

Create ~/.mime.types. Debian's variant suggests it in the 
/etc/mime.types header.

Ideally text/org should be registered in IANA, so all applications could 
use consistent mapping. Prerequisites have been discussed already.

So old mailers will still use "Content-Type: text/x-org", and it is
therefore premature to remove that entry.

I'm not sure about the urgency in starting to send out "text/org" at
this stage.  It will just lead to old versions of Emacs displaying org
attachments incorrectly in more cases, I think?

So why not:

 1. Add support for _receiving_ "text/org" in Emacs 30
 2. Wait with _sending_ "text/org" until it is formally accepted by IANA

?

In Emacs <29, perhaps Org mode could update the relevant variables to
include "text/org", too?

Yes, that would be best.  While waiting for that to happen, why not do
what I proposed (override it unconditionally in Emacs)?  It should be
more useful for Emacs users, if nothing else.

Taking a step back, how sure are we that IANA will accept this?  Do they
typically accept taking over a previous designation?

bug#68687: [PATCH v2] Use text/org media type

[Max Nikulin]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1890 bytes --]

I am sending an updated version of the patch, earlier I missed one 
occurrence of text/org.

I am leaving it up to you the decision concerning mailcap.el.

I do not mind. I just do not see real reasons to do so taking into 
account applicaion/vnd.lotus-organizer in Emacs and text/org in XDG.

Likely it is not. It is documented in man pages for various tools. In 
Emacs-27 mailcap.el was severely broken, so I do not expect detailed 
documentation.

It has happened so that I has spent some time reading Python bug tracker 
concerning their mimetypes module. I suggest against doing it 
unconditionally. Give users controls what sources should be used and 
what priority each source should have (application internal mapping, 
system-wide configuration files, user configuration files, Windows 
registry, XDG files as possible future improvement). Inconsistencies are 
not uncommon, updates of the IANA registry are applied with different pace.

An alternative is to negotiate with maintainers of mime.types in RedHat 
and Debian. My first impression is that in the case of Debian it may 
take enough time before any reaction. I am unsure as well that IANA will 
agree to change media type for .org without approval from IBM.

Subject: [PATCH v2] Use text/org media type

Avoid "x-" prefix deprecated by rfc6648 for Org mode media type.
* lisp/net/mailcap.el (mailcap-mime-extensions):
* lisp/gnus/mm-uu.el (mm-uu-org-src-code-block-extract): Replace
text/x-org by text/org.
* lisp/gnus/mm-decode.el (mm-inline-media-tests, mm-automatic-display):
Allow text/org in addition to text/x-org.

Make media type defined for Org mode consistent with
<https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/shared-mime-info>

See emacs-orgmode: Org mode MIME type. Sun, 21 Jan 2024 20:56:15 +0700.
