I just want to add whatever reinforcement to this plea I can. I won't
even try to explain the full complex of failure modes I've run into
with the history-based system, but I've got more addresses than I can
count and multiple PGP keys and S/MIME certificates, so it mostly does
not work. Since keys & certs are bound to *sending* addresses, it
makes no sense to make sign/encrypt guesses based on the recipient
addresses.
I think two features are mixed here. The first guess MailMate makes is
to find a sender address most likely for the recipient address. This is
updated when the To header is filled out for a new messages. The second
guess is whether to enable signing/encryption for the given recipient,
but this should happen if “based on history” is enabled.
The first guess cannot be disabled, but I expect to add this fairly soon
(no promises) since I regularly get complaints about that.
3. Talking to myself. Occasionally I have reasons to send myself mail
from one account to another, in encrypted form. Every time I try this,
MM does something that causes the GPG passphrase dialog to come up
asking for the passphrase *of the recipient's private key* which is
definitely not right.
This certainly sounds like a bug. I'll note to try to reproduce it.
Also, do not open up the sender choice to robotic change at sending
time, no matter how strange the sender/recipient pairing may seem to
the logic in MM.
It's a bug if MailMate tries to change anything related to this at
sending time. It should only try to update the sender (or sign/encrypt)
immediately after changing the recipient address. (Also, if the sender
or the sign/encrypt state has been changed manually then MailMate should
stop the guessing.) Let me know if you find a reproducible case.
