Patrick,  I removed enigmail from thunderbird.  I will try to reinstall 
it.  If I have additional difficulties I will contact you.  Thank you 
for your efforts.

email and got the message "unchanged 1".
So it looked like the key had already been present.  This was
confirmed by a "gpg2 -k "  The key appears to be a normal
4096 RSA key with RSA subkeys.
After closing and reopening Thunderbird, the enigmail header was
correctly present and Details/Enigmail security info shows ok but
Details/View Key properties does nothing.

It looks like something with automatic importing of the key didn't
succeed (or was not fast enough).


Searching in Enigmails Key Management fails to show this key.

File > Reload Key Cache (in the key manager)

This doesn't change anything in this case.  That particular key doesn't show in
enigmail's key listing.  Clearly enigmail has access to the key because it show
the enigmail header and shows key id in security info.


I have a screenshot of the alertbox and an enigmail debug log if
those seem useful.

Sure, send them to me.


sent in separate email.

[Enigmail] blank enigmail alert box

2015-05-16 Thread Philip Jackson
enigmail 1.8.2 Thunderbird 31.6.0 UbuntuStudio 1404, gnupg 2.0.22

Selecting the next message in a new thread of enigmail mail caused an enigmail
alert box to appear containing nothing but a red exclamation mark and an ok 
button.

The message was apparently a signed message but no enigmail header was
displayed.  I clicked ok to get rid of the alert box and then tried to check the
key properties.

It looked like I didn't have the key (normally these are imported automatically
on my setup) so I tried a manual import using the fingerprint details supplied
by the writer at the bottom of the email and got the message "unchanged 1".

So it looked like the key had already been present.  This was confirmed by a
"gpg2 -k "  The key appears to be a normal 4096 RSA key with RSA subkeys.

After closing and reopening Thunderbird, the enigmail header was correctly
present and Details/Enigmail security info shows ok but Details/View Key
properties does nothing.

Searching in Enigmails Key Management fails to show this key.

I have a screenshot of the alertbox and an enigmail debug log if those seem 
useful.

One unusual feature visible in the debug log is that the writer's name has an
unusual character (U+00ED).  Could this cause the alertbox to display ?

And why would the alertbox not contain any useful info ?


I transferred my 'inbox' to a portable pc running Debian 8, Icedove 31.6.0 and
enigmail 1.8.2 with gnupg 2.1.3

On this machine, enigmail displays this key correctly under Details/View Key
properties and it can be easily found using Key Management.
