            Bug ID: 396868
           Summary: When printed on paper there is no any evidence that
                    printed mails are signed or encrypted with valid and
                    trusted key
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 5.7.3
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR

  Target Milestone: ---

We are using lately many digitally signed and/or encrypted Emails.
KMail with gpg is doing great job in providing this.

But there is missing a very important functionality in kMail.
Most of users would like to have such signed or/and encrypted E-mails printed
on paper.

But after the printing of such E-mails, on the paper are missing any evidences
that the printed E-mail is signed or/and encrypted by certain person and if the
message signature is valid and if the key is trusted.
This possibility is urgently needed in many cases of the real life and is
creating a lot of troubles when encrypted or/and signed messages need to be
printed.

In such messages there is a hidden part caleld Details.
If the user will click on the link 'Show  Details' in the top of such messages
he/she can see some info like following:

"Message was signed by user at domain.net (Key ID: 0x5D5F095FF339EF76). 
The signature is valid and the key is fully trusted."

or

"Message was encrypted by user at domain.net (Key ID: 0x5D5F095FF339EF76). 
The signature is valid and the key is fully trusted."

or

"Message was signed and encrypted by user at domain.net (Key ID:
0x5D5F095FF339EF76). 
The signature is valid and the key is fully trusted."

Please provide a option in the UI where users could choose if this details will
be printed on top of the message text or not.
Then when needed users will have the chance to print such messages with visible
evidences about the signature or/and encryption status of the printed
documents.

Hopefully this will be easy to realize and can be made available very soon.
