hi enigmail folks--
Enigmail 1.7 is choosing the wrong key in some cases due to overeager
matching on the user ID. When matching for e-mail addresses, it needs
to make an *exact* match on the e-mail address, meaning that it is
either the entire User ID ("[email protected]"), or that it is enclosed
in angle brackets ("alice <[email protected]>").At the moment, if i have Alice's key, but i'm writing to the people responsible for solid water at Example Corp (e-mail address "[email protected]" -- they don't have a key of their own) then enigmail in "convenient mode" will happily encrypt to Alice's key, i think because it found the string "[email protected]" in her User ID. I actually ran into this because i wrote to a friend [email protected] (who has no key that i know of), and my keyring knows of a [email protected], and Jane received an undecryptable message from me. :( --dkg
