Description:
When sending a public key with the extension .asc using mutt, the receiver only gets an attachment with the content 'Version: 1' and nothing else. The problem is located in /etc/mime.types (from mime-types) as it contains 'application/pgp-encrypted asc pgp'. Mutt uses this mime-type to override the content of the file the hard way as shown in [1]. Possible solution: * Remove the entry from /etc/mime.types Additional info: * mime-types 9-1 * mutt 1.5.23-1 Steps to reproduce: * Create a public key: gpg --export-options export-minimal -a --export keyid > pubkey.asc * Open mutt * Compose a new e-mail * Attach the created public key file: pubkey.asc * Mutt detects the mime-type as application/pgp-encrypted and replaces the content with 'Version: 1' [1].

Sounds to me like a problem with mutt, not with the mime types.

Yeah, it’s definitely a bug in mutt (which has bitten me in the
past), what the hell is that code even trying to do?
