            Bug ID: 356453
           Summary: only valid (signed) openpgp certificates (keys) can be
                    assigned
           Product: kaddressbook
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

OpenPGP certificates have several levels of validity: They can be invalid
(expired, revoked, locally disabled), neutral and marginally or fully valid.
Certificates become valid by assinging ultimate trust (which should be limited
to one's own keys) or by being signed by one ore more keys with trust
privilege. It is perfectly OK to use neutral / non-valid certificates. KMail
does allow you to do that (with a warning; as it should be).

You can assign certificates to a contact (assigning to an email address would
make more sense, though). The problem is that the key selection dialog allows
you to select valid certificates only which doesn't make sense. If you encrypt
to an email address which does not appear in any certificate then the same
dialog appears (within KMail, not within KAddressbook) and then it does allow
you to select a non-valid certificate...

Reproducible: Always
