Note that if a message is signed & encrypted /by evolution/ then the message is
decrypted and the icon and message are displayed about the missing public key
to verify the signature.

Yet if the message is signed & encrypted /by Thunderbird/ the decryption dialog
is shown and processed yet the contents are not rendered but displayed as
attachments.

Title:
  Evolution fails to decrypt GPG message if signature (not encryption)
  key is not available

Status in The Evolution Mail & Calendaring Tool:
  New
Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evolution

  It seems that the bug
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/90339 has
  reappeared in evolution 2.30.3-1ubuntu7.1

  Actual results:

  1) I receive a GPG encrypted mail, sent to my public key. However, the
  mail is signed with a key not in my keyring.

  2) Evolution does not display the mail, instead it displays a red
  error text output from GPG, with a message that the public key used
  for the signature was not found.

  3) Result: I cannot read the mail using Evolution. However, I am able
  to read the mail on the command line by using `gpg --decrypt` -- it
  shows a warning about missing signature key, but also shows the mail
  body.

  Expected results:
  Evolution should show the mail body, plus a broken "seal" at the bottom indicating that the signature public key was not found.

  Does this happen every time?
  Yes.
