Benny,

Was able to delete the encryption and signing in PGP, which seems to have restored operation of v6241 in Drafts Folder>Send. Don’t know if it will affect the crashing issues.

As to Drafts, it is still flaky and not shared to others even when no new Network Framework is enabled. Sorry to say, that is a no-go for my ever using Drafts folder.

Can you tell me if there is a version of MM that supports a shared Drafts folder and how to fall back to that as previously requested? That folder appears to be tightly integrated to composing messages and it doesn’t seems that I can back down from using it when composing a new message. Hence when moving to a different device I lose my work.

Respectfully,

Benny,

Thanks for the interesting explanation and details as regards encryption/signing of messages affecting Drafts in this way. Never considered that as a possibility in terms of sharing the contents of the Drafts folder. Other apps (notably Mail) don’t make that accommodation (nor make the extensive support for PGP or S/MIME signing and encryption that MM does). I would call their support minimal, possibly concerning as security content processing.

So, I’m looking for confirmation that this is indeed occurring for all users and for your opinion (assuming you can replicate it) that you consider this either a bug or some undocumented feature.

It's likely undocumented, but I think I wrote to you in an earlier email that this is expected behavior when signing/encrypting is enabled in the composer window. You can call it a bug if you like, but this is done to ensure that sending a signed or encrypted email from A to B does not involve uploading intermediate unfinished versions of the email. It might be a bit theoretical, but one could imagine different scenarios for which this would be undesirable.

I introduced this restriction when I realized that if encryption failed (e.g., a missing certificate or something like that) then the email would be uploaded unencrypted in its draft-state which was obviously bad. It was not sufficient that MailMate would refuse to send it. In other cases, MailMate could/should allow drafts to be uploaded (at least optionally).
