Description:

This update for enigmail fixes the following issues:

Update from version 2.1.5 to version 2.2.4

  • Enigmail version 2.2.x is a specially modified version, which only works with Thunderbird 78 and later version. Enigmail 2.2.x doesn't provide the traditional functionality, rather it exists to help you migrate your keys and settings to Thunderbird 78.

Fixes included from version 2.1.5 to 2.1.8:

  • "Encrypt to key" action destroys PGP/MIME signature.
  • Filter fails silently on Enigmail's "Encrypt to key" action.
  • Disable autocrypt header on custom sender address.
  • VKS keyserver with custom port cannot be accessed.
  • Thunderbird dies immediately when sending a signed empty-bodied mail.
  • Decrypted mail has empty Content-Type in the MIME part.
  • Improper Content-Type setting for keyserver upload.
  • Display information about Thunderbird 78.
  • Minor rendering problem with Deep Dark theme.
  • Setup Wizard gets Stuck if Keys in GnuPG available.
  • Cannot confirm publish GnuPG key on WKS server.
  • Automatic Key Refresh doesn't work with keys.openpgp.org.
  • Per-recipients rule set enigmail rules for field unable to edit.
  • File names of attachments are not encrypted.
