Package: enigmail
Version: 2:1.7.2-3
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
When sending an encrypted message to someone whose key is untrusted, if I
forget to check "trust the keys of all recipients" I am prompted with a list of
keys to select from, with the untrusted key not preselected. If I select the
untrusted key from that list and continue, the resulting error message is less
than user friendly:
USERID_HINT D5BF93B014A49700 Andrew Gallagher <[email protected]>
NEED_PASSPHRASE D5BF93B014A49700 D5BF93B014A49700 1 0
GOOD_PASSPHRASE
INV_RECP 10 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Evidently gpg has not accepted the untrusted key for encryption purposes.
Expected behaviour:
1. If I explicitly and manually select an untrusted key in the list dialog box
it should temporarily trust that key.
Otherwise, there should be another method to temporarily trust a particular
key. "trust the keys of all recipients" has persistent state and needs to be
manually unchecked the next time a message is composed, which is potentially
dangerous.
2. The error message should be friendlier, e.g. "Key 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF is not
trusted".
Andrew.
