In enigmail preferences/Advanced/Additional parameters for GnuPG, I have "-v" set. > > It seems to me that the sender's key was automatically downloaded > while you were viewing / verifying the message and this looks like > some part of the output from re-calculating the trustdb. > > If I'm right, then you should be able to reproduce this behavior by > deleting the sender's key, re-calculating the trustdb and then viewing > the message again. You are right, Patrick. I just tried your suggestions. I deleted the key, did a --check-trustdb and then reopened the email concerned. A similar (possibly identical) listing appeared just before the closing marker for the End of encrypted or signed part. I then removed the "-v" from the preferences and repeated the procedure. The unwanted listing was not there. I restored the "-v" preference, repeated the procedure and the unwanted listing is back. So your supposition is correct. It seems that enabling verbose logging causes the unwanted listing to appear when a new key is imported and the trustdb recalculated. That seems to me to be an unwanted / undesirable bug. I don't suppose you class it as a feature ? Philip
