Hi there, I'm running Enigmail 1.6 with Tenfourbird 24.3.0. Sometimes when I abort a signing or encryption operation (e.g. when I discover I want to correct a typo, or attach another file), Enigmail attempts to restore the text in my compose window to its original state before munging it, but the text is not restored all the way back. If I hit "Undo" (cmd-Z) a few times, I see additional steps in the compose window, some of which just say "Enigmail" with no other text, and eventually I get my original text back.

I haven't characterized the problem any better than that but I am opening the ticket anyway.

It looks very similar to Enigmail bug 213.

This problem will be fixed in the next release (v1.6.1).

Thanks.
