User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/40.0.2214.111 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce: Installed Thunderbird. Added an IMAP email account. Installed ENIGMAIL addon. Created keys for me. Disabled "compose in HTML" from Menu > Preferences > Account Settings. Sent an Email with GnuPG encryption using Enigmail inline PGP. Actual results: Recipient unable to decrypt the messages that I sent with GnuPG encryption using Enigmail inline PGP. If I force it to use, PGP/MIME, recipient is able to decrypt the messages. Expected results: Recipient should be able to decrypt the messages that I sent with GnuPG encryption using Enigmail inline PGP. Additional info: OS in my machine: Fedora 21 (GNU/Linux) with GNOME Version 3.14.2. LSB Version: :core-4.1-amd64:core-4.1-noarch:cxx-4.1-amd64:cxx-4.1-noarch:desktop-4.1-amd64:desktop-4.1-noarch:languages-4.1-amd64:languages-4.1-noarch:printing-4.1-amd64:printing-4.1-noarch Distributor ID: Fedora Description: Fedora release 21 (Twenty One) Release: 21 Codename: TwentyOne GnuPG info installed in my machine: Name : gnupg Arch : x86_64 Version : 1.4.18 Release : 4.fc21 Thunderbird version: Name : thunderbird Arch : x86_64 Version : 31.4.0 Release : 1.fc21 I was able to fix it by : Preferences > Advanced > General tab click on 'Config Editor' Looked for "mail.identity.id1.compose_html" It was already toggled as false. Looked for "mail.html_compose" It was true. I toggled it to false. Looked for "mail.identity.default.compose_html" and toggled it to false. Now it works. If I send a email with GnuPG encryption using Enigmail inline PGP, Recipient is able to decrypt the messages . I guess I am not the first person to face this issue. Check here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1004181 I am not a techie person and it is the first time I am using an email client and PGP. I have always used webmail. I think this is not the intended way, but if this setting was left like this purposefully, I am sorry for trouble. Regards, rat.
I was curious and I wanted to check how it is in Windows. So I installed Windows 10 and I installed thunderbird 31 . I tried the Steps to reproduce in this thunderbird everything works fine. There was no issue and I am unable to reproduce the issue. So it might be an issue in the thunderbird for fedora or it might be some other issue.
