Topic: 0.7 does not encrypt, loses mail content

Hello, I just upgraded to 0.7. Unfortunately, FireGPG happens to not encrypt my mails anymore, even if the checkbox in GMail's interface is activated. I don't even get a message on the error console. The mail just gets sent unencrypted.

Also, if the "Sign" checkbox is ticked, the mail does neither get signed, nor am I requested to enter my passphrase. Again, no messages on the error console.

Selecting text and choosing "Encrypt" (and "Sign", respectively) from the Firefox/FireGPG menu, on the other hand, works just fine.

And there is another thing (which, iirc, already existed in pre-0.7 versions):
I sometimes send mails whose content looks like the following:

$BodyText_1

----------
$BodyText_2
----------

Now, if FireGPG decrypts such an email, the GMail interface only displays:

----------
$BodyText_2
----------

$BodyText_1 is completely lost, although decrypting "by hand" (either using GPG directly or via the Firefox/FireGPG menu) reveals the complete message. This might be connected with http://bugs.getfiregpg.org/index.php?do … ask_id=186

Any hints?

Re: 0.7 does not encrypt, loses mail content

If you use the send button of the top of the page, any differences ?

And for the second problem it's connected to this one : http://bugs.getfiregpg.org/index.php?do … ;project=1

Wow, yes, it does work then smile

But I have to manually select the right public key (I remember pre-0.7 chose the key automatically, based on the recipient's address?), and the mail has an attachment "noname", which is an ASCII text file that only contains "Version: 1". Seems a bit weird to me..?

Bug already reported for chose of key too, and the attachement with noname is normal (we have to respect standards wink)(try with enigmail, you will have one too)

Okay, thanks for the quick help, and thanks for FireGPG, which makes secure emailing so much less painful for me smile
