Details

Do we have already a bug for this? I could not find one. I only saw that there is some discussion about it in bug 135636. Currently, the icons shown in the statusbar of the message compose window show what is configured for the current message. The lock icon always looks identical. If bug 144397 gets implemented temporarily, the send button will also show what is currently configured. It is requested that in the future, the icons shown should also display, whether it is possible to send encrypted or not, signed or not. I.e., it depends on the availability of valid certificates for all recipients, in order to send encrypted. The S/Mime UI spec ask for different icons to be shown in the UI, depending on whether sending encrypted is possible or not. In addition, both the send button and the security toolbar button should also indicate that.
Depends on: 144403
Target Milestone: --- → Future
Severity: normal → enhancement
From http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135636#c13 "In order to show at any time the correct state in the UI, this means, we need to know at any time whether sending encrypted will be possible or not. That means, whenever the list of recipients changes, we automatically must check, obtain and verify the required certificates. I already had discussions with people from the mail/news team. It will be somewhat tricky to implement, because the current mailnews UI is not prepared to help us here. The list of recipients is currently only gathered on demand, so our change will need a partial rework of the mail composer window code."

Mass change "Future" target milestone to "--" on bugs that now are assigned to nobody. Those targets reflected the prioritization of past PSM management. Many of these should be marked invalid or wontfix, I think.
