Dear folks Please take note.
URL: https://pep.foundation/blog/enigmailpep-current-release-for-windows-is-faulty-solution-in-progress/index.html The German magazine for computer technology ("Magazin für Computertechnik", c't magazine) has drawn our attention to the obviously faulty update 1.0.23 of the p≡p distribution for Enigmail under Windows. As a result, users of the p≡p distribution published a few days ago can only reliably encrypt and decrypt e-mails in the classic Enigmail mode. A solution for the Enigmail/p≡p mode will follow as soon as possible. Only Enigmail/p≡p on Windows Is Affected The update of the p≡p distribution in version 1.0.23 for Enigmail/p≡p, available since September 26, causes such problems only under Windows systems. On Linux and macOS systems the Enigmail/p≡p mode works as expected. Also not affected are the products of p≡p security: p≡p für Android, iOS und Outlook (see also pep.software). Known Symptoms The following symptoms of the faulty update for Windows are known: * Attached keys of other PGP and p≡p users are not imported. * Messages to oneself or to existing contacts, where a key is actually available, are not always encrypted, especially not to oneself — despite correct color coding / Privacy Status. * Existing encrypted messages are not decrypted. Workaround Until a new update for Enigmail/p≡p is available under Windows, the classic Enigmail mode can be used to encrypt and decrypt messages. For that, you have to change Thunderbird's Privacy settings to the mode "S/MIME and Enigmail". Solution in Progress We are working hard on a new release of the p≡p distribution, which will make Enigmail/p≡p usable again under Windows. We apologize for the problems and we will make sure that this does not happen again in the future. We would like to thank the c't magazine for the timely reports — and the patience! PS: On the 1.0.23 version, pushed out by Patrick September 26, see: https://pep.foundation/blog/enigmailpep-version-1023-of-pep-distribution-for-enigmail-208-and-higher-is-live/index.html -- p≡p foundation: https://pep.foundation/
