aheinecke raised the priority of T4388: GpgOL: Add draft encryption as an option. from Wishlist to Normal.

Somehow I thought that storing drafts locally was not only configurable but the default. But you are right, I also can't find a way to change the storage location.

aheinecke added a comment to T3321: Make it possible to combine GpgMEpp and QGpgme with MSVC compiled binaries.

Cool and yes, that could also be an option. I was explicitly told by KDE-Windows that this would work for them, too. The problem for me is that I feel comfortable to add a CMake Buildsystem for the Cpp and Qt bindings (maybe Python?). It would be very simple for me, I would not extend it to GPGME core, at least not at first. I could do that on GNU/Linux without having to test an MSVC build.
It will be more effort for me to make autotools work nicely with MSVC. I would have to test that etc.

werner added a comment to T3321: Make it possible to combine GpgMEpp and QGpgme with MSVC compiled binaries.

Just to stress it; I am in favor of allowing builds using other compilers. We allow this on Unix and so we should allow this on Windows as well. We should remember to use different DLL names to make it explicit that a certain DLL is targetting a specific ABI.

Another build systems does not solve your problem. If you want to support another toolchain, that is fine. But it can as well be done with the current build system. it is a matter of adding a new platform triplet to make sure we are not linking against different libc versions. In fact we can build all our code on a wide range of platforms with very different compilers, so supporting MSVC won't be a problem. Mixing them is a bad idea as can be shown by the usual cross-runtime malloc/free problems.

Further discussion revealed that the main problem is QtWebengine, which is a requirement of KMail and basically a fully fledged web browser with millions of lines of code. QtWebengine is only supported for MSVC on Windows and a MinGW port is not feasible, so just compiling KMail with MinGW all the way through like I did in the past is no longer an option. :-(

I give this high priority. This blocks for years that the KDE-Windows initiative provides a way to install the very good crypto MUA KMail on windows. They rely on MSVC (you can say that this is bad, but it is a fact of life). As a former member of that community I am a bit ashamed that I made it harder / impossible for them to build KMail with MSVC because I've moved it to GPGME proper.

I have this use case: A card based encryption key is used as a subkey on one of my keys but also on another key of mine. The reason for this can be that I want to have separate keys (with different fingerprints) for two user ids but still use the same card for decryption. Sure it is possible to figure out that the user ids belong together but it is not obvious on first sight. Another use case is a role account with a shared subkey with only one administering the primary key.
