           Summary: Mail viewer does not recognize/decrypt PGP-encrypted
                    mail
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.12.2
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: langec at web.de


Version:           1.12.2 (using 4.3.2 (KDE 4.3.2), Gentoo)
Compiler:          x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.31-thinkpad

I received a mail, which the sender encrypted with my public key.  It appears
as follows when I open it:  In the mail body, I do not see text, but just two
attachments:

ATT00001 (with a "keyhole" icon)
ATT00002.bin (with a "binary" icon)

The detailed list of attachments looks as follows:

Complete mail: type multipart/mixed, encoding 7bit.

Body part: plain text document, quoted-printable (0 byte)

ATT00001: PGP/MIME-encrypted message header, base64

ATT00002.bin: unspecified binary data, base64

When I click on ATT00002.bin to open it, KMail tries to open it in kgpg, but no
kgpg window appears.  Note that kgpg is running properly.  I was able to send
an encrypted mail myself, and to decrypt that mail when viewing it in the sent
folder.  I am also able to open ATT00002.bin in the quick viewer (context menu
option "view").  It displays as:

[KMail: Attachment contains binary data. Trying to show first 1,448
characters.]
-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----
Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux)

...
-----END PGP MESSAGE-----

(Strange, that warning on top).

Nevertheless, when I copy the PGP message (without the warning on top), I can
read it via kgpg's tray icon and "decrypt clipboard".
