Nice example!

For some reason I don't understand, Dan Purget response to this post
Thunderbird refuses to download. Even "view as source" is empty.

This happens now and then on random posts.

What has his post of special that I can not see?

A pgp signature.

Oh, that breaks it for tbird? Well let's try this one sans-pgp?

No, I can read other signed posts from you just fine. If that were the
case I'd see garbage with headers, and I see zero bytes. it doesn't
download or TB chokes on it entirely.


I can see it on another machine - but in that machine there are other
posts I can not see (both use the same nntp server).

Rogue killfile?

Aw, I hope not.

No, in this machine I only have three filters. One is to mark my posts
and that thread as watched, another for some hate posts.

And if it were a filter then I would even see the line in the list of posts.

Only issue here is one cannot import your key, error that is it is not
on a key server...

Just checked keys.gnupg.net and keyserver.ubuntu.com, and both have it
(as well as some "Max2017" that collides when searching for it as
'0x1279a281').

Possibly AV set off by his signature bytes?
Longshot, but not out of the question. But
the main thing is that he signed it, so there's
no way the text of his message could end up
being leaked to the public.

That would be "encryption". Signing just means that the "Dan P" signing
this message is the same "Dan P" who owns the keypair.

Granted none of you know me / have actually traded keys with me, so it's
probably a moot point anyway.

I just imported it, no problem, except that it takes half a minute. I
think it used pgp.mit.edu.

Makes no different re the post that I can not see.

yes it does, since there are a lot of changes with pdf in the past 15
years, which will cause a 15 year old app to not properly read a more
recent pdf, let alone modify it.

The fundamental problem is that PDF simply is not designed to be
editable. It's an end-of-the-workflow output format designed for viewing
and printing. The fact that some very clever people have managed to
create software that lets you edit little bits of it (or even lots of
it, in the case of the ill-fated pdfedit) doesn't mean that it's the
right solution.

Someone asked me to help them edit a multi-page PDF form
where they wanted it to look professional.

I'm always fascinated by this. Do they have the owner's permission to
modify the document? If so, why not get the source, edit it, and
regenerate the PDF. If not, this has the hallmarks of a breach of some
kind. We regularly get requests for this kind of thing, and we ask for
evidence of permission first, evidence of ownership second, or evidence
of abandonment third. "Looking professional" wrt PDF forms really needs
the use of a designer and a document engineer.
