They've sent me an encrypted message using the latest Mozilla-1.5/Enigmail/GPG with Gentoo, but I can't open it with KMail-3.2.0-beta2 on my Gentoo (GPG is the stable version). If I save its content in the KGPG editor, however, I can decrypt it just fine with my (only) private key. Note that the same guy already sent me some other encrypted letters, but I could decrypt them without problems using KMail. These are some rows of the mail (obviously I couldn't send the whole one): User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031230 X-Accept-Language: en-us, en MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Enigmail-Version: 0.82.2.0 X-Enigmail-Supports: pgp-inline, pgp-mime Content-Type: multipart/encrypted; protocol="application/pgp-encrypted"; boundary="------------enig18CF4F12A982A72C6B8C15FA" Status: R X-Status: N X-KMail-EncryptionState: X-KMail-SignatureState: X-KMail-MDN-Sent: This is an OpenPGP/MIME encrypted message (RFC 2440 and 3156) --------------enig18CF4F12A982A72C6B8C15FA Content-Type: application/pgp-encrypted Version: 1 --------------enig18CF4F12A982A72C6B8C15FA Content-Type: application/octet-stream -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org [Encrypted message follows in ASCII form] -----END PGP MESSAGE----- --------------enig18CF4F12A982A72C6B8C15FA--
Cool... as soon I received the notification of my bug report with KMail, I was prompted for password...
does your kmail support any gpg/crypt stuff in it? did you emerge it with the "crypt" use flag?
Of course it supports gpg and I emerged it with the "crypt" flag. In fact, it works well _most of the times_. This is a random bug I can't reproduce. The same guy just sent me another encrypted letter using the same client (Mozilla 5.0/Gentoo) and I can decrypt it with KMail without any problems.
*shrug* - I'm going to have to assume this is an upstream bug, and hope it's fixed in the 3.3 series.
