KMail doesn't decrypt pgp encrypted messages

[Steve Turnbull]

Hi

I'm running Debian SID, KDE 3.3 and Kmail 1.7.2

I am having problems getting KMail / Kontact to decrypt encrypted messages. I 
have my keys setup successfully (if I try opening the email in Evolution it 
asks for a passphrase and opens the message)

I can get KMail to work if I run eval "$(gpg-agent --daemon)" from the command 
line, and then run kmail from the same command line. When Kmail starts, it 
asks for a passphrase when I click on an encrypted email.

If I just run KMail as normal from the KDE menu, it doesn't decrypt the 
message properly and I get this message;

Encrypted message (decryption not possible)
Reason: Crypto plug-in "openpgp" could not decrypt the data.
Error: Bad passphrase

These are the steps I've taken;

added "deb http://smurf.noris.de/code/debian/ experimental smurf" to my apt 
sources list and installed nupg2, gnupg-agent, dirmngr, kleopatra gpgsm.

Followed instructions at http://kmail.kde.org/kmail-pgpmime-15-16-howto.html

So, how do I get the gpg-agent to run when I startup KMail from the menu?

Thanks
Steve
