           Summary: Signing emails with S/MIME does not work
           Product: KMail Mobile
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: sabine at kdab.net


Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

It is impossible to sign an email using S/MIME at the moment.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Prerequisite: Having an S/MIME key

- Launch Kmail-mobile
- Open the 'Actions' tab
- Click on 'Identities'
- Select an identity and click on 'Modify...' button
- Go to the 'Cryptography' tab
- Scroll down to S/MIME signing certificate and click onto the 'Change...'
button
- Select the signing certificate from the list
- Click on 'Ok' 3 times.
- Click on 'Write new Email' button
- Enter a subject, any recipient and a few words in the text editor
- Open the 'Actions' tab
- Click on 'Security'
- Click on 'Sign'
- A 'Message will be signed' on a green background appears underneath the
email's subject
- Click on 'Send'

Actual Results:  
A 'No signing possible - KMail Mobile' pop up dialogue appears with the
following message: 'Examination of recipient's signing preferences showed no
common type of signature matching your available signing keys. Send the message
without signing?'

The user can either click on a 'Cancel' or on a 'Continue' button.

Either way it is impossible to send an email signed using S/MIME atm whatever
the user does.



Expected Results:  
It should be possible to send an email signed using S/MIME

N900, 4:4.6~20101125.1200370-1maemo1.1200491

Note: I tried sending a signed email to 4 different recipients but I always got
that same error message.
