           Summary: KMail: please use KWallet for GPG encryption/signing
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.13.5
          Platform: Debian unstable
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: encryption
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: eljefedelito at gmail.com


Version:           1.13.5 (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

This is a re-submittal of this bug, which was for KDE 3.x series
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106185

Basically, please don't use Qt pinentry for signing or encrypting emails, but
instead please use KWallet which is much more configurable for how long it
holds your passphrase, when it is available and is not, etc.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Set up a GPG key within KMail
Compose an email and opt to sign it
Send the email and pinentry opens when KWallet could be doing this

Actual Results:  
pinentry opens

Expected Results:  
KWallet provides the passphrase or the user is prompted to open KWallet

This may be fixed when KMail2 comes out in Q4 2010 but if not then this will
still be valid.

Thanks for KDE and the KDE-PIM suite of softwares!
