Description

Keybase GUI Version: 1.0.16-20160726182352+0c2a52a

Attempting to create an encrypted share based on unknown keybase username generates a failure message. I guess I expect that.

Attempting to create an encrypted share based on unknown keybase email identity does not generate a failure message. I would expect that if the previous case presented a failure message.
