Bug ID: 328311
Summary: KMail doesn't let me manually select a non verified
PGP key which doesn't contains the receivers address
Classification: Unclassified
Product: kmail2
Version: 4.11.2
Platform: unspecified
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: composer
Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
Reporter: colAflash at gmx.net
I'm writing an email to a friend, who recently changed his email address. I got
his unverified!!! PGP key, which he hasn't updated with to his new email
address until now. When I try to send an encrypted email, KMail tells me:
> There are conflicting encryption preferences for these recipients.
> Encrypt this message?
> [Encrypt] [Do not encrypt] [Cancel]
That's all ok, because KMail can't autodetect the right key, because any key
contains my friends new email address.
I select [Encrypt]. The KMail gives me a dialogue to manually select a key I
want to use. I select my friends unverified key, which doesn't contains his new
email address (the one I set as receiver). But I know he can decrypt that key.
Then KMail gives me:
> It was not possible to create a message composer.
And I'm back in the composer window.
If I run KMail from shell, it gives me this message on the shell in exactly
that moment:
kontact(11836) ValidTrustedOpenPGPEncryptionKey: bad validity 0
This error only appears if the PGP key hasn't been trusted in the PGP
key-chain. If I repeat the scenario with a fully trusted key, everything is
fine. Looks like KMail forgets to bring up this dialogue, which normally
appears for non fully trusted keys.
> One or more of the OpenPGP encryption keys or S/MIME certificates for recipient "some-mail-address at example.com" is not fully trusted for encryption.
> The following keys or certificates have unknown trust level:
> some-mail-address at example.com
> [Continue] [Cancel]
P.S.
My "Cryptographic Message Format" is set to "OpenPGP/MIME" in KMail.
(relevant???)
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write an encrypted email to some address you don't have a PGP key for.
2. Click send and manually select some not fully trusted PGP key to encrypt
with.
Actual Results:
KMail jumps back to composer window, tells you
> It was not possible to create a message composer.
and puts this to stdout:
kontact(*****) ValidTrustedOpenPGPEncryptionKey: bad validity 0
Expected Results:
Bring up this dialogue:
> One or more of the OpenPGP encryption keys or S/MIME certificates for recipient "some-mail-address at example.com" is not fully trusted for encryption.
> The following keys or certificates have unknown trust level:
> some-mail-address at example.com
> [Continue] [Cancel]
