            Bug ID: 316381
           Summary: Misleading error message when signing
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.10.0
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: crypto
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: kde at opensource.sf-tec.de

There are basically 2 situations that lead to the same misleading error
message:

-cancel the password entry (e.g. pinentry-qt) when asking for crypto password
-have the secret key unavailable when it should be read (by e.g. moving your
secring.gpg out of the way) and click cancel instead of "send unsigned"

Both situations lead to an error message telling that there was an error during
crypto operations. Since the operation was actively cancelled by the user no
error message should be shown at all.

I.e.: handle "cancelled" different than "error".

Reproducible: Always
