[Enigmail] Default encryption key.

[Charly Avital]

Hi,

I am trying to find out why, in my configuration, Enigmail is not using
*also* my default key, when I encrypt to other recipient(s)

In Enigmail's on-line documentation:
<http://enigmail.mozdev.org/documentation/gpgsetup.php#restore>

GnuPG user defaults can be set in the plain text configuration file
gpg.conf  which resides in the GnuPG HomeDir. Based on our experience we
suggest the following entries, but you may choose to add or remove
entries based on your reading:

  default-recipient-self
  [snip]

>From man gpg:
--default-recipient-self
Use the default key as default recipient if  option  --recipient
is  not  used  and don't ask if this is a valid one. The default
key is the first one from the secret keyring or the one set with
--default-key.

In my gpg.conf I have set the following options:

--default key  [16 last hexadecimal characters of fingerprint]
--trusted key  [dito]
--default-recipient-self

(I have no option --recipient enabled)

When I encrypt to any recipient, and click send, Enigmail displays a
sheet where only the recipient's key ID is indicate (I have enabled in
OpenPGP Preferences/Sending 'Always confirm before sending')


Is something wrong, and what, with my pgp.conf options, or is this a bug?

Thanks.
