Can't decrypt sent mail in evolution

Asked by Sven Dörflinger

When I view an encrypted mail, which was sent and encrypt with the public from recipient, then evolution show the message:

S/MIME-message could not analyzed: Cannot decrypt: you are not a recipient, or matching certificate and private key not found. (-8147) - Decoding process failed

In the past I could open the mails.

What I am doing wrong? Is that a problem with NSS database?

Check your S/MIME certificate.

Hello. Thanks for your answer.

I've got a solution. There is an option in security setting for S/MIME.

"Always encrypt for myself when sending encrypted emails"

This works.
