            Bug ID: 339687
           Summary: Asks 4 times for password when decrypting GPG
                    symmetric messages
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.11.5
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: crypto
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

I use symmetric encryption with GPG to encrypt my mails to specific senders by
using the gpg konsole command. 

Kmail understand it so well (and I thank you for your work on that!) that
search for the tipical encripted region and ask me the password. I tipe it
once, KMail shows me the region with the original (decripted) text, but then
ask me for the password twice. After the second time, if I clicked "cancel"
then it replace the region with "couldn't decipher message". 

So, for no reason, KMail asks for the GPG region more than once despite you
write it correctly. This behaviour is anoying.

I tried to disable the "try to decipher message automaticaly when previewing"
option at the Configure dialog box ("Preferences" > "Configure KMail" >
"Security" panel ("Encripted messages" section)) but with no effect.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Encript a message with a symmetric algorithm and with ASCII armor (for
example, executing: "gpg --cipher-algo AES256 -a -c" at the terminal).
2. Paste the encripted message into an email and send it to yourself.
3. Recieve the encripted mail and clic to preview it.

Actual Results:  
KMail will ask you for the password four times... So anoying!

Expected Results:  
If the option "try to decipher message automaticaly when previewing" is on
KMail should ask for the password just once when previewing. 
Else, KMail should not ask you for the password and instead a link or button
"decipher message" should appear.
