Any mutt users in my network? Trying to figure out why smime’s opaque handling doesn’t support decryption then verification. I’d appreciate boosts or forwards to appropriate nerds.

Update: I figured it out - Outlook provides no hints on whether its opaque blob is signed or encrypted. It's the latter so you need to change this param and recompile https://github.com/muttmua/mutt/blob/1f3da81014914afad4b07086a7d56af9ee32f9aa/init.h#L4025

@singe Have you tried the irc channel? It's laggy but good.

@singe Any mutt user, yes, here. But not that advanced.

@Zugschlus do you use smime at all?

@buherator @singe thank you for the roses, but the last time i needed smime when i was still working for siemens, and i still have my config from back then, but it is untouched for 2 decades now, not sure i can be of any help...

@stf @buherator ok thanks. It feels like outlook has made a change where it signs then encrypts. My smime config used to work too.

@singe afk now, but I am a mutt user for perhaps 20 years. Do you mean you want to read GnuPG-encrypted mails?

@dimpase no, my smime config that’s worked for the last several years recently stopped working - it seems outlook opaque encrypted messages now need to be decrypted before verification but smime_opaque_verify doesn’t pass in very or key vars nor support key decryption prompts. Or I’m missing something (more likely).

0h, and that option was only commited last week! https://github.com/muttmua/mutt/commit/0d75d71a6f1b6a8a24ccb7fe4e6a9889b4ff8b0b

@stf @buherator fwiw I figured it out https://github.com/muttmua/mutt/commit/0d75d71a6f1b6a8a24ccb7fe4e6a9889b4ff8b0b

Oh lol - I’m pretty sure that’s just a normal option and I don’t have to edit the code.

@singe question for you. How does mutt deal with calendar invites etc. When I had my email in Emacs, I found that I was constantly using Outlook in the web just to accept invites etc.

@jxtx I’m moving back to mutt slowly after my 4 year hiatus. The simplest is opening/adding - I used to just “open” the .ics file and Calendar.app would add it. I’m going to see if Outlook can just do the same. For replying in mutt I used a heavily customised version of https://github.com/marvinthepa/mutt-ical

@jxtx a useful follow up - if you’re using O365 then the invites get auto added to your calendar. I can see/accept them from teams as well as schedule them. Nothing stops me from using outlook if I really need to too. But for day to day it looks like I don’t need to hand parse the iCal anymore.
