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
...
mbjcpP8B
=dv5G
-----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
