Summary: KMail does not automatically decrypt multipart/encrypted
messages
Product: kmail
Version: 1.9.6
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
ReportedBy: adalbert.prokop gmx de
Version: 1.9.6 (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from: Fedora RPMs
KMail 1.9.6 (Package: kdepim-3.5.7-10.svn20070926.ent.fc7) does not automatically decrypt multipart/encrypted GPG messages any more. It did until latest update from kdepim-3.5.7-3 to 3.5.7-10.svn...
If the mime type is multipart/mixed, then the KMail behaves correctly, asks for password and decrypts the message.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new message and set the encoding type to OpenPGP/MIME.
2. Choose "Send later"
3. Look at the message in your outgoing folder
Actual results:
I'm shown a message that this message is encrypted and no decription is
possible. I can click on "Decrypt Message" in which case I'm asked for password
and the message is being decrypted and shown. I have to input my password every time the message is decrypted. Previously (before the update) gpg-agent took care of my password so I had to enter it only once.
Expected results:
KMail should ask for password atomatically, no matter what kind of envelope is
chosen for the message.
Additional info:
I'm using gpg-agent and pinentry-qt for password provision to GPG.
------- Additional Comments From adalbert.prokop gmx de 2007-10-30 21:42 -------
It seems I was too quick witch my judgement. The general problem still persist: if the message is multipart/encrypted KMail does not decrypt automatically, only after a click on the decrypt icon. But gpg-agent DOES take care of the password. Once entered it stays persistent - but the decryption still needs an additional click.
