Re: "How many of you actively use misfin? I have been tempted..."
@gemalaya I can't get rid of Message with ID 3 is encrypted or has an invalid status.. This message #3 comes again after a while, when decrypting my inbox, but show nothing, when decrypting. Your message #4 is no problem, or other messages that may follow. Sorry for providing no screencast, because I do not have such software.

@pollux All of this is normal: message #3 was encrypted for another key (the previous key, that you didn't save, right ?). Since you've changed keys now, you can't decrypt msg #3, that message can't be read (unless you recover the prev key). Subsequent messages, starting with message #4, were encoded for the new key, and so once you call "decrypt messages" with that key, you're able to decrypt all messages starting from #4. So you can ignore these "is encrypted or has an invalid status" text messages, they're just there to make it clear that there are encrypted messages in your gembox. I hope i explained it correctly.
@gemalaya Ok, thanks, but it is a bit annoying that I can't get rif of that particular message #3.
@pollux You should be able to delete it by going to this URL:
— hashnix.club:1958/msg/3/delete
With automatic confirmation:
— hashnix.club:1958/msg/3/delete?YES
@gemalaya It does not work, it says message not found, while it is still there. :-(
@gemalaya when I fetch my inbox messages it says that message #3 is from < invalid@misfin.org
: invalid@misfin.org

@pollux Ok. Well please ignore it for now, it's really unimportant. Next update will fix this (deletion of messages regardless of status).
@pollux Yes, when it cannot decrypt a message, the gembox reader yields a message with status 4:
— https://gitlab.com/cipres/misfin/-/blob/master/misfin/letter.py?ref_type=heads#L514
Pushing a change soon that lets you delete those messages from the inbox.
Thanks!
@pollux Pushed the changes, won't be available until there's an upgrade on hashnix.
@gemalaya No problem.
How many of you actively use misfin? I have been tempted to make a personal misfin server for a while, but keep stopping short of starting because I end up fearing that few enough folks use it. Would be nice to use it to reply to gemlog posts rather than relying on email.
