Did you try the upstream extension as previously suggested?
https://www.enigmail.net/download/release/1.7/enigmail-1.7.2-tb+sm.xpi

Also see https://www.enigmail.net/documentation/advanced.php#debug and https://www.enigmail.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=289 and https://www.enigmail.net/support/bugs.php on how to report this upstream.

Please also check https://www.enigmail.net/support/troubles.php#flowed


And definitely enable the enigmail console to copy the resulting commands here instead of screenshots. menu Enigmail -> Troubleshooting -> enable console.

Comment 6 Thomas Spuhler 2014-11-19 02:18:39 CET
1. I am not going to try the upstream extension on a working box. Those are usually already outdated when the next thunderbird upgrade comes.
I'll try it on cauldron

Oh, I see this package has no maintainer.

It seems, It only has a problem with certain signatures, including mine.

So let's see if upstream fixes it.

BTW, this doesn't exits:
menu Enigmail -> Troubleshooting -> enable console

Are you kidding? The upstream extension will always be at the most recent version, as we need to update it manually with each update (and sometimes packagers forget this) which leads to outdated packaged enigmail in our repos.

But feel free to ignore suggestions that could help you fix your problem.

> So let's see if upstream fixes it.

Sure, they will automagically fix something which they don't even know about.

Did you enable the enigmail log as described in the first link https://www.enigmail.net/documentation/advanced.php#debug ?
Afterwards there's an additional menu entry in Enigmail menu
(previously that was just a translation from my german enigmail)
-> Debugging options -> View Console

which will show all the commands that enigmail will run, in plaintext .

why write this long comment? Please test it on your box. I can send you a signed e-mail and if it shows on your box as valid signature than I have a problem.

This is still open. Installing version 1.8.1 solved the problem.
Why do we still have %define enigmail_version 1.7.2

Comment 10 Florian Hubold 2015-04-18 17:12:45 CEST
1.7.2 from the repos works fine here, just created a keypair, signed+encrypted a mail, sent it to me and entered my private key. Correctly decrypted, and signature checks out OK. Same for a mail that is only signed via enigmail.

As you don't even mention your exact use case (signing mail, encrypting mail, signing+encrypting, using S/MIME or PGPG, inline PGP or not) and as you didn't provide any logs or debug information won't continue further.

We still have 1.7.2 because nobody changed that yet. You have SVN access, you know how it works. But as it works here with 1.7.2 your issue is probably different.

In the future, please refrain from assigning bugs to others _and_ changing the status to Assigned. This is only intended for the assignee himself to indicate he's actively working on it.

Comment 11 Thomas Spuhler 2015-04-18 17:17:17 CEST
I can send you a signed e-mail and it should say the signature is not valid with  1.7.2.
This was on two boxes.

See my two screenshots. Compare it to yours https://bugs.mageia.org/attachment.cgi?id=5586 and you will see that you haven't imported your public key yet or there was an issue with it, maybe wrong permissions or wrong keyserver is set or one that doesn't have your public key.

That's why I mentioned you need to provide some logs.

Comment 15 Thomas Spuhler 2015-04-18 19:04:10 CEST
I am aware of the difference. The question is why does it not find the public signature that is has already downloaded.
I am glad to send you the logs, if you tell me where to find them. I am not very familiar with Thunderbird.
There is nothing in the journal, so I need to turn them on somewhere.
BTW, I removed einigmail-1.8.1 and installed 1.7.2 using urmi and I am back to the reported problem. Since 1.8.1 and kmail knows the public key, it's clearly available. If you look at my key, it's a little complicated, it has two e-mail addresses and a picture.
Comment 16 Florian Hubold 2015-04-18 20:17:27 CEST
See comment 5 and comment 7
And don't send the logs to me, that's what bugzilla is for.

We talked enough. 1.8.1 from upstream works here. I don't have time to further debug it.
I am going to upgrade it per comment 10 in svn and when the next security update comes along it will be pushed.
Comment 18 Thomas Spuhler 2015-04-23 18:07:22 CEST
fixed in SVN by upgrading enigmail to vers. 1.8.2
Tested locally and it fixes the bug.
I am not going to push the build, can be done by next upgrade of thunderbird.

Status: UNCONFIRMED => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED
