           Summary: KMail encrypts complete mail instead of attachment
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.13.5
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: encryption
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: clemens.kol at gmx.at


Version:           1.13.5 (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

Not sure if a missing feature or a bug, but definitely annoying: I often want
to write an email to multiple people with an attachment (containing sensitive
data). Thus, I'll send an unencrypted email to all recipients with unsensitive
information (e.g. because I don't have the key of some recipients) and encrypt
only the attachment.

The GUI supports this by clicking the encrypt-checkbox on the attachment, but
not on the email. Kmail ignores this and simply encrypts the complete message.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Send an email with attachment, click on "encrypt attachment check box", do NOT
click on "encrypt email button"

Actual Results:  
Complete message is encrypted (including attachment)

Expected Results:  
Email is send without encryption, attachment is encrypted
