I'm running Thunderbird 31.1.0 with Enigmail 1.7.2 and I'm getting some
undesired behaviour.

I have set my preferences to Always Encrypt off and Always Sign off.
This works fine when sending emails however, when I post to a newsgroup,
Enigmail complains about the first post made in a session. I have to
Force Not To Encrypt.

re-send the message without encryption.

Subsequent posts are then fine, provided they are made within a short
time, then it reverts to complaining again. Is it just me or has anyone
else observed this?

It happened to me too. Once.

Might have been due to some update.

You're right I updated it a few days before. Whatever, it's behaving
itself today.
