i am seeing the following misbehavior with the 1.7 beta i packaged
from yesterday (i have "convenient encryption" set as the
default):

When i reply to a message from someone for whom i have a key, more
often than not, the default leaves the message unencrypted.

When i send a new message to that person, or when i shift-tab up to
the address bar and then tab back down to the subject entry box,
the message becomes encrypted again.

I can reproduce this. It is "just" a display problem. The logic works
correctly when sending the message, but the menu and the icons in the
lower right corner are incorrect.

(dkg again):
I can confirm that this is still an issue in 1.7.2.

If I'm reading my "top" message which happens to be unencrypted and an encrypted message arrives, I'm prompted for my GPG passphrase. When I enter this, I get a "top line" on the message saying Enigmail has decrypted this current unencrypted message and also a lock icon to the right of the Subject: of the current unencrypted message (to the left of the date) identifying this message as having an encryption status. If I click on the lock icon I get a popup saying: "Enigmail Security Info, Decrypted message, [OK]"

Is this the same problem?

Oh, I'm running 1.7.2.

No, you're seeing the behaviour of bug 284

[Patrick Brunschwig]

As far as I can tell, this bug should be fixed on master. Could you please retest?

[Patrick Brunschwig]

No feedback anymore. I think that this was fixed in v1.8.x
