GpgOL should always send SENDER with actual sender email
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Moved bug report from https://roundup.kolab.org/issue4239:

GpgOL sometimes sends

SENDER -- <kleopatra-does-not-allow-empty-sender@example.net>

This is GpgOL's attempt to access the "default signer" functionality of the
UiServer protocol spec. However, that functionality has never been and will
never be implemented in Kleopatra, because it's impossible to do so, since
Kleopatra doesn't have access to the Identity information stored in OL.
Therefore, GpgOL _always_ needs to send this information to Kleopatra,
irregardless of whether the mail is sent via the default account or a secondary
one.

Event Timeline

I've never seen this but there is code for it in case op_assuan_sign is called
without a sender.

Should not happen except in bug cases. So it would probably be better just to
show an error in that case rather then a weird "GpgOL is annoyed with Kleopatra"
email address.

This is fixed in gpgol master.
