Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

When I reply to an encrypted (GPG) message the whole message is cited as encrypted PGP message block rather than as clear text. This is strange for two reasons. Firstly, I can decrypt the original message flawlessly when viewing it in my inbox (and I asked Evolution to keep my GPG passphrase in memory for the current session). Second, this odd behaviour has suddenly crept into Evolution for no apparent reason ... replying to encrypted messages worked perfectly yesterday.

Please do not rank this bug as low-priority!

I will file upstream immediately as this is very, very important to me - as is an option to force encryption where I have relevant keys.

This is still an issue with Karmic for me. There are a few reports on bugzilla.gnome.org with status "RESOLVED". Lets hope for the best ;)
