Maybe you're still using the langpack 0.93.0?! This was the last one
with maxversion 1.5. langpacks 0.93.1, 0.93.2 and 0.94.0 have maxversion
1.6.

You've to use Thunderbird 1.5.0.2 + Enigmail 0.94.0 + Langpack 0.94.0
(or better the complete german Enigmail - including en-US and de-DE
locales).

I saw that in the manual, it might be useful sometime. This time, it was
only to effect a small "cosmetic" change - a correspondent asked me about
Mozilla Suite because my comment line said I used Mozilla. As Mozilla suite
is no longer, it made sense to switch it to Thunderbird for tidiness and
clarity.

Key selection when there is more than one key

Hi together,

when I select "Use email address of this identity to identify OpenPGP
key" in my account settings, then enigmail always selects the first key
that matches the mail address. However, if I have two or more keys
matching the mail address of the account, then the other key(s) will
never be shown or selected.

Has anyone else noticed this behaviour?

I think, in this case enigmail should display a dialog box informing
that there is more than one suitable key. Perhaps there could be a
possibility to select the preferred key, and ideally a selection whether
this decision should be remembered (and if yes, the account preferences
updated accordingly automatically).

Yes, I know that I can enter/select a key Id instead... but this is not
what a non-experienced user would do, I'm afraid.

That's how GnuPG behaves if you use the "-u" parameter

That's why it is *highly* suggested to select the key with the button
"Select Key". If you create a key directly with Enigmail, or if you
start Enigmail for the first time and configure it using the Wizard,
then the key ID is automatically used, since I think it's dangerous to
use the option "Use email address of this identity to identify OpenPGP
key". I don't think it's very efficient to check whenever a message is
sent if there are other keys available (i.e. call gpg --list-keys).

I used what I thought was the latest version from enigmal.mozdev.org.
(Maybe I did't look hard enough?) Anyway, I googled up the German
all-in-one 0.94 pack which works fine.

Thanks for the hint!

Problems with sending messages (mostly)

Hi all,
The problem I wrote earlier about with importing keys
from file was (partially) solved: John W. Moore III
sent me a nightly build of enigmail, and now it
imports at least some keys (but it is still a mystery
for me why it won't import the others)
However, I came across some more issues in my daily
usage of Enigmail, mostly related to sending messages,
namely:
1) I have messages queued for sending, and when I
start thunderbird it asks me if it should send the
unsent messages or not. If i click 'send' it displays
an error message
2) In the same situation, i hit the get/send button
(from MagicSLR extension 1.1.2) and *sometimes* it
displays the same error message.
In both cases the message reads ' An error occurred
while sending mail. The mail server responded: sorry,
that domain is not in my list of allowed rcpthosts. (
# 5.7.1) Please verify that your email address is
correct in your Mail preferences and try again'.
Then, it stops all the send/download operations,
meaning whatever messages preceded it in queue get
sent, others stay in the Unsent folder; whatever
accounts got to be checked for new messages got
checked, others remain unchecked.
This problem does not persist if i first choose "sent
all unsent" from the drop-down menu of get/send button
and then choose 'download messages from all accounts.
If I have no encrypted messages in the queue the

Re: Problems with sending messages (mostly)

Hi Julia,

with the import problem I don't have any idea as Enigmail
just calls GnuPG to do things. So does GPGshell. So if
one works, the other usually does aswell. Difficult to
tell from the distance where to start investigating.

> 1) I have messages queued for sending, ... "sorry,

Is you provider still using SMTP after POP? Try enabling
"Use name and password" in account settings -> SMTP ->
[account] -> Edit -> Security or consult your Email
provider's docs to see if they provide alternatives.

IIRC Magic SLR provides a special feature to make sure
mail is POPed before SMTPing queued ones. So it's
probably an interference between those two extensions.

I assume that if the authors solve the first problem,
this one will be gone aswell.

About "Greek translation"

Hi all

Yesterday maroning I sent to the list a message with subject "Greek 
translation" containing the xpi file for the Greek language package for 
enigmail 0.94.0

Then I got a repply that "Your message to Enigmail awaits moderator approval" 
because "Message body is too big: 50419 bytes with a limit of 40 KB"

Since then I have no news about it
Is there something wrong? Did my message get through or did it get lost?

Kind regards
Spiros

Re: About "Greek translation"

Hi Spiros!

So Enigmail now does have a greek translation, too? That's great News!
Thank you very much!

> "Your message to Enigmail awaits moderator approval"
> Did my message get through or did it get lost?

It neither got lost nor did it get through yet since it waits for approval.
The approval process is necessary in order not to spam all members, yet it
is very time consuming. Unfortunately we currently do not have the
ressources to react more timely. Please bear with us.

You may send your translation directly to me and I'll put it on the website.
(Beware: my mail server has graylisting activated, so depending on the retry
timer of your smarthost, this may also take something from 10 minutes up to
a week...  ) If your email to me gets rejected altogether, try renaming
the xpi to zip - amavis sometimes does things I do not fully understand.

Before sending the XPI, please take a look at the language pack download
page http://enigmail.mozdev.org/langpack.html and provide me with the
details you want to be published there, like your name vs. a team name in
case you translated it with others, which email address I shall use etc.

BTW: does anybody want to lend a hand approving messages *regularly*?
