This is probably similar to #239 but the case is a little different.

  1. I'm hosting a mailing list.
  2. I tried to reply to someone else's post.
  3. My send hangs with the text "Waiting on their encryption key. Will request it again soon.

I don't so much care if the original message hits the peer-to-peer network, but it would be nice to be able to reply without having to use a different bitmessage instance and/or fake out the reply by sending a broadcast.

I doubt it matters, but the reply was sent via the API.

I can't reproduce it in the UI, it was probably fixed in ceeea1da73, or slightly later, because I remember that broadcasts didn't work at the beginning of my changes.

It may still not work when using the API though, in this case, it is supposed to send a broadcast rather than a normal message. So it actually probably is a frontend issue and not an API issue. The API doesn't magically know that when you call sendMessage it is actually supposed to send a broadcast instead. What are you using as a frontend, or perhaps what were you using at a frontend when you encountered this?

Sorry decided that this is a frontend issue and there's nothing for me to fix here.
