Package: claws-mail-pgpmime
Version: 3.11.1-3+deb8u1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Encrypting email fails with the error message "Couldn't encrypt the email:
Encryption failed, General error" if one of the recipient keys specifies
the MD5 digest algorithm.

I have found that putting "allow-weak-digest-algos" in my ~/.gnupg/options
is an effective work-around as far as encryption from claws-mail is concerned.

However, adding that option causes encryption and decryption with gpg from
the command line to break (error: "invalid option"), so that is not an
acceptable work-around overall.

Greetings,
Norbert
