I've been using "Running Enigmail version 1.8a1pre (20150102-0013)" since 2nd
Jan and my first reaction was to wonder where the sign and encrypt buttons had
gone to as I searched a vacant right hand side of the tool bar.

Then I saw the new enigmail toolbar and I do think it's an improvement.

I use "convenient encryption setting"  and if I write 'TO' an address where I
have the public key of the person, the padlock is yellow and I see that the
message will be encrypted.

As soon as I change the 'TO' to 'BCC' or 'Reply to' the padlock goes grey and
the message will not be encrypted.

Changing to 'CC' gets yellow padlock and encrypted message status.

Changing back to 'TO' or 'CC' gets encryption back - and this can be repeated ad
infinitum.

If it hadn't been for this thread, I'm not sure I would have noticed the padlock
 changing colour.

Curiously, if I use two address lines, one for 'TO' or 'CC' and other for 'BCC'
or 'Reply to' (both addresses for which I have public keys), the padlock stays
yellow.   It doesn't matter in which order these two address lines are.

There is another oddity :

If I have one address line 'TO' with an address for which I have the key. the
padlock is yellow and the message will be encrypted.

If I add a second line 'TO' or 'CC' with an address for which I do not have the
public key, the padlock goes grey and the message will not be encrypted.

But if I change the second 'TO' to 'BCC' or 'Reply to', the padlock goes yellow
again and the text says the message will be encrypted.

I didn't send any of the emails - I'm only commenting on visual behaviour
(display logic).  It would look like the display logic needs re-examining.
