           Summary: KMail provides a "bad passphrase" when deliberately
                    cancelling the passphrase entry in the pinentry tool
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.13.5
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: encryption
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: paul.adams at kde.org


Version:           1.13.5 (using KDE 4.5.0) 
OS:                Linux

When a user chooses to sign/encrypt an email the pinentry programme is invoked
to collect the user's passphrase. This dialog provides a "cancel" button in
case the user wants to stop the process.

If the user clicks this "cancel" button then Kmail will display a "bad
passphrase" dialog. This is semantically screwed as, to the user's view, they
deliberately did not enter their passphrase. This warning is redundant and
might actually worry the user who knows no better.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
- Create email
- Mark it for sign and or encrypt
- Hit Send
- Hit the "cancel" button in the pinentry dialog

Actual Results:  
Warning dialog saying "Signing failed: Bad passphrase".

Expected Results:  
I would expect to be taken straight back to the current mail editor.
