GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 212488
add button for skip gpg signing/encryption
Last modified: 2016-03-04 09:59:52 UTC
I'd love to see the box that asks for my signing keyphrase have 3 buttons: passphrase: [________________________] [ ok ] [ cancel ] [ don't sign ] Not display "No key provided" when I hit cancel, try signing when I hit OK, and just send the mail without signing it when I hit the "don't sign" button.
i'd REALLY like to see this in 2.3, would be a great convenience! adding keywords

isn't this handled by pinentry or seahorse ?
Bumping version to a stable release.
No, that's not handled by pinentry or seahorse. Just for the record. Evolution uses gnome-keyring but that's completely beside the point since it does the crypto operation itself and this is asking for skipping the operation.
I'm WontFix-ing this. While it can seem to be convenient for someone, it's a security issue for somebody else. Imagine you have set to encrypt messages, but you do not want to encrypt to one person, but want to somebody else. That doesn't make much sense, security speaking, because the bits you'd like to have encrypted will be sent unencrypted for somebody else. Not that it would be the same message either. (It's subpart of this bug, I know, but I can see that someone would request it soon after.) In any case, Evolution doesn't always provide the password prompt dialog for the GPG, nor S/MIME, keys. Users can have configured password prompt with the pinentry, it depends what gpg agent will be setup in the system. The evolution password prompt is only a fallback.
