Encryption asking for recipients

Encryption asking for recipients

[Michael Piotrowski]

Hi,

I'm not sure when it started, but it's also in the latest git pull: When
encrypting a message, `mml2015-epg-encrypt' is apparently unable to get
the recipient from the message and prompts for them.

(message-options-get 'mml2015-epg-recipients) returns nil.  For testing,
I inserted

  (message-options-set 'mml2015-epg-recipients
    (message-options-set-recipient))

at the beginning of the function to ensure the recipients variable is
set.  Indeed, I do not get the "Recipients:" prompt anymore; however, I
then get a "pklist.user_id.enter" prompt.  This prompt comes from gpg; I
don't know why it doesn't say "Enter the user ID.  End with an empty
line:" as it does when I call gpg in the shell, but it does indicate
that gpg is called without a recipient.  So it seems that the recipient
is either lost again or not available.

As I haven't seen any reports on this issue, could this be an
XEmacs-only problem again?

Thanks and best regards

I couldn't reproduce this with today's Emacs bzr build.

Yes, it returns nil at the first time, and then it will be set to the
value derived from (message-options-get 'message-recipients).

Could you try to edebug `mml2015-epg-encrypt'?

Well, I'm using XEmacs 21.4.22.

I'll do this later, right now I've got some work to do :-) What I can
already say, however, is that `recipients' is nil, (message-options-get
'message-recipients) also returns nil, so it prompts for recipents.

Thanks and greetings

I've found the problem: It's not `mml2015-epg-encrypt' but rather a
change in message.el.

Commit d7f2cb176d4c7dfad075e3914bdde41553ef5a9f makes message-options a
buffer-local variable.  This change essentially breaks encryption on
XEmacs 21.4.22.  I'm all for clean code, but I'd suggest to either
revert this change or make it conditional.

Greetings
