Since I upgraded Enigmail to 1.7, it stopped being deterministic.
In 1.6, it sent emails encrypted with recipients' keys when I asked it to do so, or when the per-recipient rules told it to do so.
In 1.7, it sends encrypted emails to random people, and these emails are encrypted ONLY with my key. This happens both for people whose keys I have and for people who don't even know what PGP is.
This causes a lot of confusion to the point where I stopped using Thunderbird. Downgrading to 1.6 helped the issue, but apparently I can't install it in latest TB anymore.
I did not change any settings during the upgrade from 1.6 to 1.7.
I reported this bug a few months ago but it doesn't seem to be there any more, not a wontfix, nothing.
Please try to reproduce this with the beta version of Enigmail 1.8:

Does this solve your issue?
Was there any fix for this in 1.8 or are you suggesting that I do an experiment? I'd rather not experiment on my contacts, if it's the latter.
There was a relevant fix in 1.8, the observed behaviour should not occur any more,
So far so good, I haven't sent a wrongly encrypted email using the "send" button since the upgrade.
I have sent emails encrypted with only my own key via the Send Later extension, but I guess I should report it to them instead - correct? This didn't happen with Enigmail 1.6 but is happening with 1.8 beta.
