I thought the debug log would be there because I had defined a logging directory some time ago. However, I made a mistake and entered the directory as '~/philip/enigmail' and the logfile did not get created. (I forgot to check at the time.) I have now defined the log directory as '/home/philip/enigmail' and the logfile has been created (I just checked) > If it's not reproducible, please watch out for further occurences and > try to note the circumstances and report here.

The expected behaviour for Enigmail is to display a _yellow_ ribbon when the signing key is not locally available and offer to download it, not to examine/sign/etc. Did some other application - even in the background - try to access your gnupg keyring at that time?

[Enigmail] strange logic re keys information
In enigmail 1.7 and Thunderbird 31.0 : I received a message showing the enigmail blue header 'Part of the message signed, click on Details .' Details showed the security info option and also options to : View Key Properties Sign Sender's key Set owner's trust ... I tried the 'View Key properties' and nothing happened, not even an error message. I then opened enigmail's key management and sure enough, I didn't have the sender's key on my keyring. But, this is the strange part for me, I tried the 'sign sender's key' and 'set owner's trust' and they both seemed as though they were going to work - they opened up the appropriate dialog boxes. I didn't continue .. it seemed wrong to sign a key that one does not have. Enigmail offered no option connected to the email concerned to import the missing key. I know I could have done so from key manager. When I checked the enigmail preferences, keyserver tab, I did not have any keyserver address noted in the automatic download field. When I put a keyserver address there, and restarted thunderbird, the 'View key properties' option worked correctly - the key had been downloaded. It seems to me that it would be more logical, where the keyserver is not nominated in 'preferences', and the key is not on the keyring, to do the following : 1. not to offer the 'view key properties' option - to gray it out. 2. to gray out both the signing option and the trust setting option 3. to provide an option to import the key. or alternatively : 1. when 'view key properties' fails to find the key, offer an error message saying that the key is not present in the keyring and providing an option to import it 2. to gray out both the signing option and the trust setting option until such time as the key exists in the keyring. 0x23543A63.asc Description: application/pgp-keys signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ enigmail-users mailing list enigmail-users@enigmail.net To unsubscribe or make changes to your subscription click here: https://admin.hostpoint.ch/mailman/listinfo/enigmail-users_enigmail.net
