Request for Testing - Part 2


As previously announces on this list, I have started to replace C++
code with portable JavaScript-based code (with some system library
calls from JavaScript). As a consequence of this, a lot of the core
code needs to be adjusted. In order to reduce the risk of severe
errors in the release versions, I will regularly ask for help in
testing after I completed such changes.

I committed today a 2nd significant set of changes. These affect any
functionality related to key creation and keyserver access. That is,
creation of new keys from within the Key Manager and the Setup Wizard,
and searching, downloading and uploading of keys from the key manager
and from the message pane window.

As usually, the functionality should work as before.

Olav, hello.  I was trying to explain that I would like to be able to save a
message as a draft, if it is not yet completed, without having it encrypt to the
recipient's key or my key. When I use Tools > Preferences > Sending > I have
deselected the option to "Add my own key to the recipients list"; yet it seems
to be doing that when I save the message as a draft even when I tell it not to
encrypt the draft.  Is that normal?   Thanks.

Cannot encrypt message?

Hi, I set up my Thunderbird/Enigmail/Kleopatra accounts, and can send
and receive encrypted emails, but when I click on Options-> Encrypt
this Message it prompts me to designate a certificate for
signing/encryption.  I try to do this and it will not let me because
it says it has to be in PKCS12 format.  It cannot find anything in
this format on my computer, and my key is saved as a .asc file.  I can
find no way to convert this or otherwise get the program to recognize
my Open PGP certificate.  I would like for this feature to work
because I think it would allow me to encrypt my message before sending
it, which is what I want.  The only thing I can think of is to create
a new key using Thunderbird, but I would rather not invalidate the one
I have.  Thank you for your help.

OpenPGP preferences

Hello.  I am using Enigmail version 1.3.5 with Thunderbird 10.0 in Windows OS.  J   It utilizes gpg2.exe as the executable.  I want to have a procedure so that whenever I am sending a message to one particular individual, the message will be encrypted by default without my having to select which key to use.  I do not want this default action of decryption to occur with every recipient but only with this one at this point. I used OpenPGP/Edit per-recipient rules to add a rule for this recipient’s email address.  I entered the email address exactly in the “Rules for” box, set it to apply the rule if recipient “is exactly”, selected Action of “use the following OpenPGP keys, selected the proper key from the list in my key ring, and designated defaults for Encryption as Always, and clicked OK.  I can see this rule appearing in the Rules Editor window.

 

Now, when I have composed the message to this person and I click on Send, ideally I would now like the message to get encrypted and start sending.  However, I still have to use the OpenPGP icon on the toolbar to select the option to Encrypt Message.  Then, after clicking Send, I see the OpenPGP Key Selection window open and I have to select which key to use.  Therefore, it appears, nevertheless, that first I have to configure the OpenPGP Preferences/Key Selection for choosing the keys “By rules and email addresses” by default, that is, for everyone.  Is there not a way to set the procedure so that for some individuals the key selection would be made based on these preset rules but for others the selection would be made manually?  I mean, I have already designated this key as the one to use for encrypting Always for this person, but now I am having to select the key again.  What am I missing to make this a little more automatic.  Thanks.

My bad! You are quite right, I should have clarified that initially.  I looked
around for the key unsuccessfully, but I downloaded the program from here:

Request For Testing


As I announced earlier on this list, I have started to move away from
C++ code to a pure JavaScript environment (with some system library
calls from JavaScript). As a consequence of this, a lot of the core
code needs to be adjusted. In order to reduce the risk of severe
errors in the release versions, I will regularly ask for help in
testing after I completed such changes.

I have today committed a first significant part. The following parts
of Enigmail are affected:

* Detection of GnuPG and gpg-agent. That's the very first thing that
Enigmail does when it is used for the 1st time after Thunderbird was
started.
* Any calls to GnuPG, except for encryption and decryption of mails
and key operations. This includes operations like opening the OpenPGP
Key Manager, encryption and decryption of attachments for inline-PGP
mode.

I'd be happy to get feedback if things that are working in v1.3.5 are
broken on Enigmail trunk. The new code will be active in nightly
builds of Enigmail dated 2012-01-28 and later on all trees i.e.
Stable, Beta, Aurora and comm-central.

Nightly Builds are available from http://tinyurl.com/EnigmailNightly

cannot sign or encrypt messages in thunderbird-trunk

Hi,

I'm trying out thunderbird-trunk 12.0a1 (2012-01-24) and enigmail
1.4a1pre (2012-01-15). While I can easily decrypt and verify incoming
messages, it seems that signing somehow interferes with SMTP authentication.

When signing an unencrypted message with PGP/MIME, the passphrase
dialogue pops up simultaneously with an error message saying "Send
Message Error: Sending of message failed.
An error occurred sending mail: Could not get password for %S. The
message was not sent."

When encrypting a message with PGP/MIME (signed or unsigned), the error
message is "Sending of message failed. Please verify that your Mail &
Newsgroups account settings are correct and try again."

When signing or encrypting a message without PGP/MIME, the resulting
error is "OpenPGP Alert: Send operation aborted."

The same errors are displayed when the passphrase is already cached and
not prompted. No error occurs when both signing and encryption are disabled.

Best regards,
Christoph
