Hi Patrick : I'm now Running Enigmail version 1.8a1pre (20150308-0013) - (Sunday's nightly) on Thunderbird 31.5, Ubuntu 1404
There's still an odd behaviour on 'sender's key' offers. see below On 07/03/15 19:05, Patrick Brunschwig wrote: > On 01.03.15 22:07, Philip Jackson wrote: >>> >> I've found a glitch in enigmail 1.8beta connected with "sender's >> key" options. > >> If the mail has been signed, you have 3 ways to be offered some >> options for the sender's key : > >> 1. from the 'Details' button in the message header 2. from the menu >> bar Enigmail/ Sender's key/ 3. from the strange little icon (3 >> small horizontal bars) on the right hand end of Thunderbird's Mail >> Toolbar. > >> It is this latter which gives most often defective options. > >> If there is no PhotoID with the key concerned, the PhotoID option >> is not greyed out, clicking it does however provide the message >> that no such id is available. This is now ok - the photo-id option is greyed out in all Sender' key' offers if the key has no photo id. >> If the message has not been signed at all, the Details button of >> course is not present and the other two ways still provide a range >> of options. Here there is a difference in behavior depending on how one arrives at the unsigned message and, I think, whether the unsigned message contains a quote from a signed email. Four cases : 1. If I pass from an unsigned to another unsigned message, all the enigmail/sender's key/options are greyed out. This includes from the thunderbird menu bar and from the menu bar icon. 2. If I pass from a signed message to an unsigned one which does NOT contain any quote from a signed message, likewise, all options are greyed out. 3. However, if I pass from a signed message containing a quote from the unsigned message (ie a reply to the unsigned message) to that unsigned one, the menu bar options offer 3 clickable options (View key properties, sign key, set owner trust) that relate to the previously opened signed message. 4. Likewise, if I pass from a signed message to an unsigned one which contains a quote from the signed message, I get the same three offers. If you have retained this complete thread, you can check it out on three of the last four messages : -from Patrick Brunschwig 7/03/15 19:07 -from Ian Mann 7/03/15 19:25 (containing a quote from Patrick's mail) -from Ludwig Hugelschafer 7/03/15 19:57 (containing a quote from Ian Mann) Pass from Ludwig's mail to Ian's and with Ian's mail open, you can get offers to see a key which turns out to be Ludwig's key. Pass from Patrick's mail to Ian's and you get offers which produce Patrick's key. I believe that with Ian's unsigned email open, all "sender's key" related options should be greyed out. Philip
