Dear Engimail-developers, yesterday I tried to install Enigmail on a Journalists computer. As I wanted to show him how to sign+encrypt an email (he clicked to encrypt the email), I canceled the password entry for signing the email, because I wanted to show him something else before.
Later I realized, that this email was sent unencrypted. DISCLAIMER: I'm not sure if that happened exactly this way and if I can reproduce this bug, because I have no Windows machine to test this case. I'll later set up a new environment (on my Linux machine) to try if I can reproduce this bug. If it is really the case, that this bug is existing, it would make me really angry. I just feel ashamed if somebody wants to encrypt his email, and as soon as you want to show the whole procedure, you're faced with bad usability and in the worst case with a bug, which is proving, that it's not working. With all due respect on the work of Enigmail and its developers, it's just terrible. Maybe you ask, if I haven't complained earlier. Yeah it is bad, and I'm too lazy to report bugs, but I also think that there is no chance to change a lot on Enigmail, because I have the feeling, that your reports will not change much, as long as the current developers of Enigmail are leading the development. I will never forget, that Enigmail once made all key valid by default. Usability is bullshit argument, because you had at least warn the people by a message to show, what's the problem, if using an invalid key, to let them decide to sent an unauthenticated, but encrypted email. I hope I will find the time and be in a mood to write a new Icedove/Thunderbird-AddOn, so I can put Enigmail to the trash bin and you can complain about my AddOn.
