Hi all, last night a new nightly build version of enigmail was built, which contains several changes and fixes.
You can find it at: https://www.enigmail.net/download/nightly.php To try it out: - DOWNLOAD the file enigmail-nightly-all.xpi https://www.enigmail.net/download/nightly/enigmail-nightly-all.xpi INTO A LOCAL FILE (don't load it directly into your firefox browser) - In Thunderbird choose Extras -> Add-Ons-Manager select the configure icon on the top right -> install Add-On from file and select the stored file - press install now - restart thunderbird The changes are: - New handling of default/rules/final-decisions for encryption/signing/pgp-mime - new account-defaults - new key selection properties - new compose menu entries (both pulldown and popup menues) - new status bar button icon look&feel See a summary of the new behavior below - We have a workaround now to try to handle PGP/Mime emails screwed up by a Exchange Server <=2010. see https://sourceforge.net/p/enigmail/forum/support/thread/4add2b69/ To summarize how encryption/signing/pgpmime is handled now: - In the account specific menu you can now select the general defaults for signing/encryption/pgpmime - The decision to automatically sign when the email is (not) encrypted now is processed FINALLY after applying all defaults/rules/manual-settings It therefore has new labels. - Note: If no automatic signing is selected, signing is not bundled to encryption - You now have a button there to jump to the global settings - In the preferences -> key selection you can now simply turn on or off the possible steps of the key handling individually. This replaces a radio boy where you could only choose one of a couple of options, where the consequence were not always clear. The recommended default settings are: - use recipient-rules - use keys from key manager - start manual key selection if keys are missing - With the status bar icons you can now FINALLY choose to sign/encrypt or not to sign/encrypt (which means after hitting these buttons, rules/defaults no longer count to decide whether to sign/encrypt, even if additional recipients are added while composing) - With the compose menu entries you can do the same PLUS - see the current status of the email - switch back to process defaults and rules I am happy about any feedback. -- Nicolai M.
