[Pkg-mutt-maintainers] Bug#838352: mutt: after the switch to GPGME, I could no longer decrypt my sent PGP mail

Tue Sep 20 08:51:01 UTC 2016

Package: mutt
Version: 1.7.0-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

Version 1.7.0-5 enabled GPGME for PGP handling by default.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

After updating to version 1.7.0-5, when I sent an encrypted e-mail to
somebody else, I was surprised that I was unable to decrypt this
message afterwards.

Before the upgrade, I was able to decrypt all PGP/MIME messages I had
sent.

   * My analysis:

It turns out I did not have `set pgp_encrypt_self=yes` in my
configuration. Instead, I relied on the following settings which seem
to be ignored by GPGME:

set pgp_encrypt_only_command="/usr/lib/mutt/pgpewrap gpg --batch --quiet --no-verbose --output - --encrypt --textmode --armor --always-trust --encrypt-to 0x0000000000000000
set pgp_encrypt_sign_command="/usr/lib/mutt/pgpewrap gpg --passphrase-fd 0 --batch --quiet --no-verbose --textmode --output - --encrypt --sign %?a?-u %a? --armor --always-trust --encrypt-to 0x0000000000000000 -- -r %r -- %f"

Would it be possible to honour these settings with GPGME, or to parse
the `--encrypt-to` argument to make the transition to GPGME a smoother
experience?
