I just uploaded 1.8.2~beta3-1 to debian experimental.  Should be
available from the archive within the day.

happy hacking,

I have experienced something with enigmail 1.8.2~beta3 and icedove
36.0~b1-2 (on debian), with gnupg 2.1.2 that might be related, but i'm
currently unable to replicate it.  Here's what i saw:

I received an encrypted message from a contact who is using gpg-tools on
OS X (with mail.app, i think).  The message passed through a microsoft
exchange server before it landed in the mailbox i connected to with
enigmail.

Attempting to view the message, icedove spun indefinitely, and the
message body was not rendered (it remained blank).  Looking in the
process table, i saw a hanging gpg child process that strace suggested
was waiting to read input from fd 0 (stdin).

If i navigated away from the message and then back, a second gpg process
appeared, and also hung on a read from fd 0.

Manually killing the gpg processes while the message was selected in
icedove caused a panel to appear suggesting that the message might have
been corrupted by MS Exchange and offering to fix it.  I accepted the
offer to fix it, and the message became readable, and no hanging
gpg child processes recurred.  Because the message was transformed, and
i failed to grab a copy of the original source, i'm not currently able
to reproduce the problem.

Any suggestions for what i can do to provide helpful information that
would lead toward debugging the issue?

I've tried several times and this problem recurs easily.  It hasn't happened
when I've run the filter only on selected messages.  But it happens every time I
run the filter on the whole of the Inbox.

If I close Thunderbird after running the filter on the whole of the Inbox
folder, there remains a running Thunderbird process which prevents me from
simply exiting and re-starting Thunderbird.

I have several encrypted files which the filter will only process if I provide
the passphrase (not the smartcard pincode).  It does not make any difference
whether I supply the passphrase or skip those messages, simply running the
filter on the whole folder is sufficient to cause the Thunderbird process to
stay running and not die when Thunderbird is exited.

It would be good to know if anyone else has seen this behavior.

Using Enigmail version 1.8.2pre3 (20150402-1802) with Thunderbird 31.6.0 in
ubuntu linux :

Using the 'Create decrypted copy' version of the filter to decrypt and send the
decrypted copy to another folder 'autodecrypt' -

A)  Testing from Thunderbird's toolbar : Tools/Run filters on message (for one
or several selected messages).  This raises a couple of questions :

1.  When I go to the autodecrypt folder, the decrypted messages are there 
but
each message has the paperclip attachment flag displayed even though most have
no attachment.  When a message with no attachment is selected, the paperclip
disappears.

The original encrypted messages were pgp/mime so is the paperclip a remnant of
the signature.asc attachment ?

2.  After running the filter, a message appears in the status bar at the 
bottom
of Thunderbird - 'moved x messages from Inbox to autodecrypt'.   The figure 'x'
seems to increment if the filter is run several times in fairly quick succession
but if the delay is a little longer (about 2 minutes ? ), 'x' restarts from 1
(or whatever number of messages were processed on that occasion).

Is that an enigmail logic or is it down to Thunderbird ?

B)  Further testing from Thunderbird toolbar Tools/Run Filters on Folder had
some interesting results.  I'm using a smartcard and Thunderbird requested as
usual, my pincode and then proceeded to process the filter and I could see the
number incrementing on the bottom status bar.   After 18 messages, the filter
process stopped and a pinentry dialog asked for my passphrase (not my smartcard
pin number) - I skipped this one and noted the subject line for later
investigation.

After 20 messages, again the passphrase was requested for another message.
Again I skipped and noted the subject line.

The above was repeated a couple of times on the folder with the same results.

The two messages which were not successfully processed could be decrypted but
only if I used the full passphrase and not the smartcard pincode.   Since I
succeeded in getting the smartcard to work a few weeks' ago, I have not had to
use the full passphrase so I do not understand what is the problem with these 2
messages but it does not appear to be connected with the enigmail filter.

Another interesting occurence which I have never had with Thunderbird in years
of use - I had occasion to exit Thunderbird several times during this session of
testing (for reasons unrelated to the testing) and on a couple of times after
testing on the full folder (rather than on selected messages) I was unable to
restart Thunderbird.  The message was that Thunderbird was already running.

Sure enough, there was Thunderbird process still running which I had to kill.
On the second occasion I noted that it was owned by 'root'.  I don't know if
this is connected with the testing with the filter but if it recurs, I'll let
you know.

Yes, that would be nice. The more users, the better.
