            Bug ID: 322772
           Summary: kmail should treat attached text/plain files named
                    *.asc in signed and/or encrypted mails as mime type
                    application/pgp-keys
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.11 rc2
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: mschiff at gentoo.org

I assume that this is not a bug in kmail at all, as attached plaintext keys
should be marked as application/pgp-keys instead of text/plain.

But in reality there are Encryption gateways out there which attach peoples
pgp-keys as text/plain

However, to increase interoperability and usability it might be good to some
more "intelligence":

Would it be complicated to implement if kmail checked the file-extension of an
attachement and if the message is signed and/or encryped, and if a text/plain
part is detected with a filename like *.asc, then handle that part if it was
application/pgp-keys?

That way one could just import the key by klicking on it...

Ideas?

Reproducible: Always
