x-set-fingerprint sets empty fingerprint-value in subscription if there is an accidental line-break between E-Mail and Fingerprint

Expected Behavior

If the line with the command looks like this:

x-set-fingerprint mail@example.com

The command should return an error-message that no valid fingerprint was found.

Actual Behavior

The command empties the fingerprint field of the subscription and answers.
"Fingerprint for some_mail@mail.com set to ."

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

The line for the x-set-fingerprint-Command gets pretty long with the full length fingerprint. Unfortunately some E-Mail-Clients force a line-break between the e-mail and the FP. So the command in the request-mail looks like this:

x-set-fingerprint mail@example.com
0392CF72B345256BB730049789226FD6A42B2A7A

Specifications

  • Version: 3.2.2-1~bpo9+1
  • deb package
  • Mail client version: Thunderbird

Other information

I like paz idea from IRC:

12:49 <@paz> the functionality is wanted, one should be able to unset a fingerprint. But the described behaviour is not useful. We should maybe provide X-UNSET-FINGERPRINT, and protect X-SET-FINGERPRINT against (accidental) mis-use.
