Description

I launched icedove, accessed encrypted emails, then let the computer suspend to RAM for several hours. I came back and went to icedove again. On the 1st encrypted email I want to read, Enigmail tells me that I don’t own the public key to decrypt the message (I’m not even asked for my passphrase). If I click another message and click again the one that was failing, I’m then asked for my passphrase, wait a few seconds and the contents of the emails pops up.

I didn’t find any line related to icedove nor gnupg in the journal.
