[Alois Hockenschlohe]

Version: 0.5.11

Settings: UNCHECKED: Virtual Identity -> attributes to copy -> S/MIME Security Settings ALL CHECKED: Storage -> Additional options -> S/MIME ALL CHECKED: Storage -> Additional options -> OpenPGP

In the Virtual Identity Data Storage, the recipient ist stored with the following settings:

Thunderbird 2.0.0.23 (2009081714; Linux i686)

• Deutsches Wörterbuch de-DE@… 1.0.1
• Enigmail {847b3a00-7ab1-11d4-8f02-006008948af5} 0.95.0

But the Encryption won't change from "PGP: Encrypt and Sign, S/MIME: Sign" to "PGP: do not encrypt and do not sign, S/MIME: Encrypt and Sign".

But maybe, I'm just too dump...?

[S/MIME and thunderbird...]

Same behaviour. PGP and S/MIME settings do not work. But the documentation of Virtual Identity is not in a usable state, so maybe I'm also just configured some settings the wrong way?!

[Alois Hockenschlohe]

It works perfect with 0.6.0pre2. :-)

Hi Alois,

thanks for the detailed report. If the settings are working with 0.6.0pre2, I won't take too much time to unvestigate the problem with the current 0.5.11 . Currently without a usable broadband, it's hard for me to check all different use-cases on my own. If you see some related error messages in the javascript console (see tools menu) than I might catch the problem, else you have to wait for 0.6.0.

Nice regards, Rene
