1993943 - Unable to sign/encrypt (PGP) when stared with -compose parameter and Thunderbird wasn't already running

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Schorschii]

Attachment: key-error.png

Steps to reproduce:

Start Thunderbird with the -compose parameter

Actual results:

Error message when trying to send:
"Unable to send the message, because there is a problem with your personal key. You do not seem to have the secret key for xxx <[e-mail]> (key ID 0x...) on your keyring; you cannot use the key for signing."

Expected results:

Email should be sent without errors.

There is no problem with the key since everything works fine when starting Thunderbird without the -compose parameter.

Too many command line options...

Move the compose commmand line handling to MessengerContentHandler to where it belongs.
It had some extra processing which wasn't needed when handled in the correct place,
and not as a weird side effect of validate().
