Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: kdepim
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 (amd64), the kmail package version is
4.3.5-0ubuntu1~karmic1.
I have configured two identities in KMail. One has an X.509 certificate
assigned for signature and encryption, the other one has an OpenPGP key
assigned for the same purposes. Both keys are listed in Kleopatra in the
"trusted certificates" tab.
For the identity with the X.509 certificate, signing, verifying, and
en-/decrypting e-mails works as expected.
The identity with the OpenPGP key causes some trouble:
1. When composing an e-mail, I can check the option to sign it. But when I
press the send button, I get the following warning message: "You have requested
to sign this message, but no valid signing keys have been configured for this
identity."
2. If I want to encrypt an e-mail, I get a similar warning message when hitting
the send button: "You have requested to encrypt this message, and to encrypt a
copy to yourself, but no valid trusted encryption keys have been configured for
this identity."
3. KMail correctly verifies the signatures of previously sent mails in my sent
folder.
4. KMail correctly decrypts previously encrypted mails in my sent folder.
To narrow down the problem, I was looking at the gpg log file and
realized, that KMail seems to query gpgsm before sending the mail, even
though no X.509 certificate is associated with this identity, even
though the "Preferred crypto message format" is set to "OpenPGP/MIME".
To verify that KMail always tries to use an S/MIME format with an X.509
certificate, I assigned the X.509 certificate to the PGP-only identity
but kept the crypto format as "OpenPGP/MIME". Having that done and
trying to send a signed mail, KMail warns me about the wrong certificate
subject and then asks me for the X.509 certificate passphrase. Thus, I
suspect that KMail ALWAYS tries to encrypt the message in S/MIME format
even if the identity is configured to use a PGP key only.
