123069 - Mozilla ignores "encrypt always" preference!

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Security: S/MIME, defect, P1)

Description

[Kai Engert [:KaiE:]]

Make sure you have certificates and mailnews configured.
Configure to always sign and always encrypt.
Close and restart Mozilla.
Compose a message.
Enter a recipient subject and body text.
Do NOT open the security menu. Just send the message.

Actual behaviour: Message is NOT sent encrypted.

Could have to do with my NSS 3.4 build.

Let me try we my build (a bit stale - 2 days).

Comment 2

[Antonio Lam]

Tried with mozilla-win32-nss34-20020128-115010.zip, and I am not able to send 
the message.  It complained it can't find the recipient encrypting cert.  (I am 
sure I have the recipient cert in "Other People's" and it is verified to have 
the following usage: Email Recipient Certificate)

Antonio. You may have hit the bug whereby you must have sent yourself a signed
email in order to be able to send an encrypted email where you are on the
recipient list.

Comment 4

[Antonio Lam]

For my last comment #2, I didn't send the message to myself, but to other 
recipient.

But anyway, I am still hitting the same problem described in bug 122933 using 
the latest NSS 3.4 build (20020201).

I retested with my latest build. I still see this bug as originally described.

Encryption is not used unless you manually open the Options/Security menu in
composer before sending.

In case the menu has not been used, we query the wrong preference...

Javi, can you please review?

[Stephane Saux]

S/MIME bugs are automatically nsbeta1 candidates. (this is a bulk update - there
may be some adjustment of the list).
