Bug ID: 347083
Summary: Create PGP key/user-ID without email
Product: kleopatra
Version: 2.2.0
Platform: unspecified
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
The GnuPG command line and the GNU Privacy Assistant (in advanced mode) allow
creating a PGP key pair (and adding a user ID to an existing key pair) without
an email address (by leaving the email address field blank). i.e., the user ID
is 'John Smith' rather than 'John Smith <[email protected]>'.
When attempting to create a PGP key pair or add a user ID to an existing key
pair, Kleopatra marks the 'EMail' field '(required)' and gives the message
'EMail is required, but empty.' if no email is specified.
From what I can tell, the OpenPGP specification states the user ID 'by
convention ... includes an RFC 2822 [RFC2822] mail name-addr, but there are no
restrictions on its content.'
It would be very useful for me and my PGP community to be able to use Kleopatra
to create a PGP key without an email address.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use the File->New Certificate menu to attempt to create an OpenPGP key pair.
2. Give a suitable 'Name' but no 'EMail'.
Actual Results:
The 'Next' button is greyed out and an 'EMail is required, but empty.' message
appears.
Expected Results:
Kleopatra should allow the key pair to be created with no email specified.
