           Summary: kmail thinks unencrypted attachments are
                    encrypted/signed
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: james at thebhatts.org


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

I receive an unencrypted email with an unencrypted attachment (tested: .rar,
.ods, .docx filetypes) using an IMAP account.

I can read the email just fine, attachments are listed as usual.  I know the
attachment is unencrypted because I sent it myself from another (web based)
account.

Clicking or right-clicking the attachment and choosing to save the attachment
opens KDE4 file-picker.

Choose 'Save' to save it wherever.  

Kmail asks two questions on after the other. From memory the text is:
First: 'Attachment part <name> is encrypted.  Do you want to keep the
encryption?' (Yes, No)
Second: 'Attachment part <name> has a signature. Do you want to keep the
signature?' (Yes, No)

If I click Yes to either of these questions, kmail crashes.  If I click No to
both, kmail saves a zero byte file.

If I instead choose to open the attachment with the associated application (eg
Ark, OpenOffice) from within kmail without saving it, the attachment opens in
the application just fine.

I have 3 Identities, each with 1 IMAP account each.  My default identity had
encryption set up using gpg.  Before this, saving attachments used to work. Not
sure if this was the cause of the problem so I removed all encryption stuff
from that identity.

Problem still happens on the default identity, and it also happens on any other
account/identity, even though those have never been set up to use encryption.

Using kmail standalone, from the openSUSE 11.1 KDE4 Factory repos, 32bit arch.
