            Bug ID: 343352
           Summary: KMail should display real error message instead of
                    "general error"
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.14.2
          Platform: Debian unstable
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: crypto
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: johannes at zarl.at

Today, when I tried to send an encrypted mail in kmail, kmail would respond
with the error message "Could not compose message: General error".

Initially, I thought I might have hit bug 324963, when indeed the problem was
caused by an expired key specified in an "encrypt-to" statement in my gpg.conf.

gpg does give an error message in this case:
> $ gpg -e 
>  gpg: F481DB0F8A627E7E: skipped: unusable public key
>  gpg: [stdin]: encryption failed: unusable public key

Please include the gpg error message in the error dialog. A "general error" is
not helpful at all to the user.
