* bug#19726: 24.4; When sending email, all lines starting with `from' get capitalized @ 2015-01-29 10:15 Marek Rudnicki 2015-02-07 18:23 ` bug#19726: " marekrud 0 siblings, 1 reply; 4+ messages in thread From: Marek Rudnicki @ 2015-01-29 10:15 UTC (permalink / raw) To: 19726 Hi, I'm using GNU Emacs 24.4.1 on FreeBSD and GNU/Linux. I noticed a strange behavior, that whenever I send a GPG signed email from Emacs, all lines in the body (and inline attachements) starting with `from' followed by some words, turn into `From' followed by some words. For example, if I send a Python script containing: from __future__ import division it will turn into: From __future__ import division This problem occurs only when there is a secure-pgpmime-sign marker. In order to retproduce: emacs -Q C-x m C-c RET C-s Example email (you must have working GPG with keys for bob@example.com): -----EMAIL START----- To: alice@example.com Subject: from test From: bob@example.com --text follows this line-- <#secure method=pgpmime mode=sign> hi from __future__ import division from from asdf from subject subject asdf bye -----EMAIL STOP----- After sending such email or pressing `Preview' in the toolbar the message turns into: -----EMAIL START----- From: marekrud@gmail.com Subject: from test To: alice@example.com Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2015 11:05:00 +0100 (13 seconds ago) hi From __future__ import division from From asdf from subject subject asdf bye -----EMAIL STOP----- If you need any more information, please let me know per email.

I just tried, and it seems not. Does it persist on your side? (If not, I'd be inclined to close this bug.) I think I could try one more thing (but not today - it's Easter Eve, and my family will soon be awake!): checkout the Emacs version from the time you reported this bug, compile it and see whether I could observe it. > Cheers, > > Marek Best, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science Adam Mickiewicz University ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

I currently use GNU Emacs 24.5.1 which still hast this problem. I quickly tried version 25.0.92 which seem to have it fixed. For me you could consider closing this issue, because the new Emacs version should be released sooner than later and the workaround (at least for Python files) is to send them as non-inline attachments.
