Peter Lewis <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|RESOLVED |UNCONFIRMED Resolution|WORKSFORME | --- Comment #8 from Peter Lewis <prlewis letterboxes org> 2009-04-10 11:55:42 --- Okay, sorry I guess I'm just so confused by how the encryption preferences are supposed to fit together that it's difficult to separate out the issues into separate bugs. I will try though. So, I'll try to untangle the behaviour that occurs in my later comments and file separate bugs, but I can confirm that the behaviour in my original report is still present in 1.11.2. However, I've discovered that the problem really is that in the address book entry, the preferences under the "crypto settings" tab override the per-message settings (i.e. toolbar buttons) without any warning. The problem I originally described was that in the address book entry for the recipient, I had "always encrypt" selected. This meant that the "encrypt" (padlock) button on a composer window had no effect (but could still be toggled), and that no indication was given in the composer window that the message would be encrypted (i.e. the wrapper bar). This may well be the desired behaviour (to override the per-message settings, though it seems a little counter-intuitive to me), though if so can I suggest that in the case that this happens, that at least the wrapper bar should appear in the composer window, indicating that the message is to be encrypted (as would happen if I'd selected the padlock toolbar button). Also, I think that in this case some feedback should be given to the user explaining why the message is being encrypted, despite the "encrypt" toolbar button being unselected. Perhaps one of the following could occur: - the encrypt button is greyed out, - it is not present, - the wrapper bar says that the message will be encrypted due to address book settings, or something similar. I hope this clears up the original problems! I'll file separate bugs for the other stuff when I get that clear in my head too! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Kdepim-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-bugs
