Invalid --sender option does not produce parseable output
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

If the --sender option gets an invalid email address, such as "root@example.com(crondaemon)", then there is no parseable output. This leads to unexpected errors in Enigmail:

gpg --batch --no-tty --status-fd 2 --sender "root@example.com(crondaemon)" --decrypt

--> gpg: "root@example.com(crondaemon)" is not a proper mail address

Okay. We need to add a FAILURE status so that gpgme can better report this invocation error. Due to the double fork it won't be able to see the exit status. I assume you have the same problem in Enigmail.
