GpgOL: Security level icon not updated for encrypted mails when auto preview is disabled
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

To reproduce:

  1. Set registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\GNU\GpgOL\disableAutoPreview = 1
  2. Restart outlook
  3. Select an encrypted mail with e.g. security level 4 (Menüband: "Unsicher", which is expected)
  4. Open this mail (Menüband: "Sicherheit Stufe 4", Mail: "Unsicher")
  5. Close this mail (Menüband: "Sicherheit Stufe 4")
  6. Select other encrypted mails with other security levels: the level is not updated accordingly (continues as long as encrypted mails are selected)
  7. Unencrypted mails still update the level

Note that disabling Auto-preview is not the default and has only been implemented to work around severe performance degradation with certain MalwareAnti-Virus software.
