--- Comment #12 from David Faure <faure at kde.org> ---
About the original suggestion: "Do not decrypt emails unless the PGP or S/MIME
encrypted part is the root node -- and therefore the only part -- in the MIME
tree (exception: multipart/signed for encrypted-then-signed S/MIME messages)."

This would mean if you attach a non-encrypted image (say, company logo) to an
encrypted email, the recipient can't reply to the email anymore? I think we
always want to decrypt the main text part? (fuzzy term, I don't know what the
actual logic is in kmail, but I mean the text that gets quoted).
