514162 - PGP sent message

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Roedy Green]

User-Agent:       Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 6.0; U; en) Presto/2.2.15 Version/10.00
Build Identifier: 2.0.0.23 (20090812)

When you send an encrypted email, Thunderbird stores the encrypted message in the outbox. This is not useful since it is encrypted with somebody else's public key.  I can't possibly recover the plain text.  If for some reason I used to wrong public key of my recipient, I can't resend it encrypted with the new one. I would make more sense to either:
1. store the message in the outbox in plain text.
2. store the message encrypted with MY public key.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send a PGP encrypted message to somenone using the Enigmail add-in
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
It saves an unusable form of the message in the outbox.


Expected Results:  
It should have saved the message in plain text.

This behaviour is the result of Enigmail and Thunderbird interacting. I don't know which of the two is most responsible for this behaviour.
