2001107 - Console warning 'Get msg hdr failed for msgUri' when forwarding an encrypted EML message

Status: ASSIGNED

(MailNews Core :: Security: OpenPGP, defect)

Description

[Hartmut Welpmann [:welpy-cw]]

Several messages like

 0:19.20 GECKO(227671) console.warn: "Get msg hdr failed for msgUri=mailbox:///home/[…]/source/obj-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/_tests/testing/mochitest/browser/comm/mail/test/browser/composition/data/testmsg.eml?number=0&realtype=message/rfc822"
[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIMessenger.msgHdrFromURI]" 
nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://openpgp/content/ui/enigmailMsgComposeOverlay.js :: getMsgHdr :: line 109"  data: no]

when executing comm/mail/test/browser/composition/browser_emlActions.js.

Consistently reproduced also by manually forwarding an encrypted PGP message.

Since this is an expected failure in this case, I suggest suppressing the warning for these kind of URIs, see following patch.

What exactly do you do to trigger it manually?

What exactly do you do to trigger it manually?

After having Bob's private key imported (I think that's mail/test/browser/openpgp/data/keys/[e-mail]), I opened mail/test/browser/openpgp/data/eml/encrypted-and-signed-alice-to-bob-nonascii.eml and clicked 'Forward'.
