GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 724227
Do not mix PGP and S/MIME security on message reply
Last modified: 2015-04-02 09:54:27 UTC
Sometimes, people send me messages which are PGP-signed. When I reply to them, Evolution automatically tries to PGP-sign my response. I don't want this. All my messages are S/MIME-signed already. I really don't want them to be S/MIME *and* PGP signed. I can't find how to disable this.
I have seen this too in 3.10.
It cannot be disabled, it was requested as a feature. I agree it doesn't make sense to use both S/MIME and GPG at the same time though.
Hmm, this is odd. I have a PGP signed message (created by Evolution), and if I reply to it the option to PGP sign is not checked. Similar for S/MIME messages (also created by evolution). That doesn't work even in 3.10.4, which is odd, because I would expect it being broken in 3.16.x due to the webkit-based composer changes, but in such an old version like 3.10.x is quite hard to believe that it ever worked, even I know it did work. This is with Reply. Using Edit as New is a different thing and it does check to sign/encrypt based on the source message's content. It can be changed pretty easily, thus I'll do it for the Edit as New at least.
Aaah, I had it turned off, at Edit->Preferences->Composer Preferences->Digitally sign messages when original message signed, at the very bottom of the General tab. Then the reply didn't work for me.
I committed this to both stable and master, the stable version is lighter, it doesn't contain the API change of one public function. It's not that accurate, but I didn't want to touch the API there. Created commit 6459227 in evo master (3.17.1+) Created commit 0a53c47 in evo gnome-3-16 (3.16.1+)
