            Bug ID: 333611
           Summary: error on decoding PGP-encoded messages
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.13
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: crypto
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: a at gaydenko.com

I receive pgp-signed messages which are just pgp-encoded rather pgp-encrypted.
So, it is sufficient just to 

gpg -d file.txt

to decode a pgp block. Here file.txt is 

-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----
Version: PGP 6.5.8

owFlkDtIA0EQho+gggcHiogiIoOg2OTcu5hLvEoE7SMIErDw0Qgq2Njb2WhjKYiN
...

-----END PGP MESSAGE-----

At case you haven't sender public key, you get just a warning, but decoding
still takes place (I have tried it on the another Linux box). So it is use case
when a public key is used for signing only rather for encryption.

For such incoming messages KMail shows green-decorated error:

Message was signed by someone at somewhere (Key ID: 0x-----).
The signature is valid and the key is fully trusted.   Hide Details
<div style="font-size:x-large; text-align:center;padding:20pt;">Could not
decrypt the data.</div>
End of signed message

P.S. At the moment I use Thunderbird to receive these messages. 

Reproducible: Always
