[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Bug#811380: enigmail: does not show progress - if gpg is slow, signed email looks unsigned until gpg completes

[Andrew Gallagher]

Package: enigmail
Version: 2:1.8.2-4~deb8u1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I have quite a large public keyring and gpg (v2.0 in particular) can be quite
slow to complete. While gpg is running, enigmail shows no indication that
processing is being performed. This means that emails quite often appear to be
unsigned even when they have (possibly valid) signatures.

Solution: enigmail should show a "working..." indicator in the toolbar as soon
as it detects pgp content, to be replaced by the success/failure notification
once processing is complete.
