Hello 2all,

I'm using Thunderbird 2.0.0.6 with Enigmail 0.95.3 .There is a problem
by using decryption with bigger multipart messages. If I try do read a
pgp encrypted email often I get a popup box

[OpenPGP-Meldung]
"Fehler - IMAP-Nachricht ist zu gross für die Entschlüsselung bzw.
Überprüfung"

I don't now how it is in english, maybe  similar like this

[OpenPGP-Message]
"Error - IMAP message is to big for decryption or verifying"


If I save the message on the computers harddisk and open this file in
Thunderbird, decryption works fine.

Here the trace, if decryption fails:

Here, if it es successful:

gpg: WARNING: "--no-use-agent" is an obsolete option - it has no effect

gpg: encrypted with 2048-bit ELG key, ID 0x11797AA6, created 2005-06-17
      "Me <me at domaene.de>"


Earlier versions worked. I can't say, since then this behaviour occurs.

Is this a bug or a configuration problem ?

Thanks.
