Change Details

Over in the enigmail mailing list: https://admin.hostpoint.ch/pipermail/enigmail-users_enigmail.net/2017-February/004323.html Patrick Brunschwig writes about converting an encrypted message into a cleartext message: > If the message was signed and encrypted in one step, then the signature > will be removed as well.

If this functionality was provided, then enigmail could presumably preserve signatures on the transformed message. I don't personally think this is a high priority, since i think a better approach (over storing the message as cleartext) is to simply cache the session key to facilitate future decryption without secret key access. But i wanted to record the observation of the missing feature here.
