156766 - drafts/templates are encrypted before saving and become ineditable

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

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

Description

[Charles Rosendahl]

On Linux and Windows (all branch and trunk builds):

Create a template or draft message:
1.  Open a compose window
2.  Create the template or draft (do not specify a recipient)
3.  Check the encrypt option
4.  Save as a template or close and choose to save in drafts folder.

Open the template or draft:
1.  Find the saved template or draft and view it.  Notice it is encrypted.
2.  double click the template to open it for editing or click the edit draft button.

Actual behavior:
The original template/draft is added as an attachment instead of opening up and
allowing editing capability within the original template/draft.

Expected behavior:
The saved template/draft should be editable.

See also bug 141730.

"Editing a draft" is similar to start a reply. The original message must get
decrypted and its contents placed in the new message.

Because of bug 141730, the decryption is not done, and the encrypted container
is placed into the new message.


In order to fix this bug, we should not change the behaviour of what happens
when saving the message into the draft folder.

IMHO, it is good that the message is stored in encrypted form. The sender is
planning to send the message encrypted, and therefore it is is reasonable to
store the message encrypted at all times.

Charles, can you please test whether this is fixed with today's trunk build?
