    Hi, I am using Mac Os Sonoma and the latest version of PostBox as my mail client. I installed Enigmail following the procedure described in the manual. I can see the public keys associated with the mail addresses beta@com.com but if I try to send an encrypted mail to the addres beta@com.com I get the message: Error in Enigmail: encryption/signature failed. Do you want to send the unencrypted message?
    Below I submit the debug of the send attempt, apparently the associated mail (from what I understand) does not have a valid certificate even though it was trusted using the procedure described.

    can you attach the key for beta@com.com? It seems that the key is not valid or no longer valid.

    Hi Patrick, this is the public key. Consider that the same problem occurs with all public keys included in the keyring. (replace beta@com.com with the correct user email)

    Thanks, I found a bug in Enigmail. I'll fix it and create a new release, probably on Thursday

    Hi Patrick, I am not very happy that I found a bug. Thank you for your support.

    I just created a new release that should fix the issue. You can update to the new version via the update check in the Labs Screen (Menu Tools > Labs).

    Hi Patrick, I tried the new release but the effect has changed. It gives me a warning that: Recipients invalid, untrusted, or not found. If I try to send the email anyway it is sent correctly but the recipient cannot read it. I am attaching the debug file
