            Bug ID: 353631
           Summary: ask the user to import attached PGP keys
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.14.7
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: crypto
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: kolAflash at kolahilft.de

When receiving a mail with attached PGP key(s), KMail should ask the user to
import those keys.

Don't auto-import those keys! That would be a (small) security problem.

But especially for inexperienced users it would be pretty helpful, if KMail
would tell them that the attached file(s) are actually PGP keys and ask the
user if they should be imported.

And, to do it the totally right way, KMail should not just say:

"There are PGP keys attached, should they be imported?"

but KMail should ask (imagine a popup window)

========================================
There are the following PGP keys attached. Please give those keys a mark that
you want to import:
--------
[ ] john at example.com
[x] alice at wonderland.net
[x] bob at test.org
[ ] eve at evil.tk
--------
Cancel    OK
========================================

Reproducible: Always
