Re: [Evolution] Sending of GPG-encrypted mail.

[Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj ximian com>]

Hi, my name is Jeff...and I'm a dumbass.

Anyways, looking through the code real quick, I *might* have found the
problem. When appending arguments to "argv", I was appending "-r
recipient_name" as 1 argument when it should have been 2. I'm not sure
if this is causing the problem, but it certainly doesn't help matters
any ;-)

I've now fixed this in CVS but haven't tested it as it's kinda hard to
test it against yourself (which is probably why I never caught it in the
first place...I made 2 temp keys to test with but since I had the key it
signed with, I was able to read it anyway!).

I'll do some testing tomorrow by sending mail to my laptop...
