*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***
Public security bug reported:
With the most recent upgrade of Enigmail on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, my previous
settings are lost and it is not using the key it used to
use. Instead of using the active OpenPGP key it is using one of my archived,
disabled keys. When I send a message to myself, it tells me it is using the
right key,
"Note: The message is encrypted for the following User ID's / Keys:
0xDEF20AB6xxxxxxxx"
yet it still encrypts with the wrong key. What I expect would happen
would be that Enigmail would use the same key it used to use (which is
the one it says it is using) instead of the wrong key. Furthermore the
wrong key is long since expired.
This prevents sending or receiving encrypted mail.
