enigmail refuses to encrypt if there is no key associated with own identity

[mokrates]

enigmail refuses to encrypt if there is no key associated with own identity.

I have enigmail installed and the 'convenient' settings set. I don't have a key associated with my own identity on my Laptop, but I have a public key from the addressee. The menu says (correctly) 'message will be encrypted' and 'message will not be signed'. (It can be encrypted, because I have the addressee's public key, and it cannot be signed, as enigmail has no key to sign it.)

What happens: If I hit 'send', Thunderbird refuses to send the mail because there is no key associated with my identity.
What I expect: Encrypting and not signing and sending of the message.

keep up the great work!

I have the feeling that nobody here is caring about the enigmail bugs in Ubuntu.

Try to install the recent version 1.7.2 (which unfortunately is not directly available in Ubuntu) from https://www.enigmail.net/home/index.php and if your bug still persists report the defect directly to the developers via
https://www.enigmail.net/support/bugs.php
