            Bug ID: 308504
          Severity: critical
           Version: 2.1.0
          Priority: NOR
                CC: mutz at kde.org
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
           Summary: decryption failed: unknown recipients
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: MS Windows
          Reporter: jared at sd7.net
          Hardware: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: general
           Product: kleopatra

using gpg for windows Kleopatra won't decrypt files when unknown recipients
exist (ie. i don't have the certificates for every recipient.)  However, pgp in
debian linux will decrypt the same file whether unknown recipients exist or
not.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Encrypt a file with multiple certificates/recipients
2. Send the file to a recipient that doesn't have everyone's certificate, only
the encrypter's.
3. The recipient tires to decrypt.
Actual Results:  
decryption failed: unknown recipients

Expected Results:  
decrypt the file even though unknown recipients exist.

this is totally crippling because a recipient doesn't always have everyone's
certs. Plus decryption works in pgp for linux without needing to have
everyone's certs. 

I put critical below because this problem causes me to be unable to retrieve
data that is very sensitive and critical.
