GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 586746
Messages than cannot be decrypted should show a user friendly message
Last modified: 2021-05-19 11:08:28 UTC
Messages than cannot be decrypted should show a user friendly message instead of cryptic gpg output. The message should be shown in the information bar (similar to the bar that appears when the message could be decrypted)
Enhancement bug -> Enhancement severity.
Can be, but what do you expect to see there? I believe the error message from GPG should still be there, as to see what is the real issue. So something like: From: xxx To: xxx Subject: xxx ----------------------- *some user friendly message* GPG (or S/MIME) error message ----------------------- It's showing for me now: ----------------------- Could not parse PGP/MIME message User canceled operation. ----------------------- I do not see anything wrong about that. Maybe, instead of better text you mean some visual distinction between the informative text and the error message itself? Even I've a feeling that both lines are from the GPG camel context.
Well. I'm all for including the original error message in the user friendly message as per comment #2.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new enhancement request ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
