Bug#412896: Error when trying to sign an e-mail: Problem with non-ASCII chars in passphrase
Hi, I am using the Debian emacs-snapshot package, for details see below, and experience problems when trying to gpg-sign an E-mail. I press C-c RET C-s which produces in the first line 'hashsign'part sign=pgpmime (with s/'hashsign'/#/, but writing this literally has the effect that Gnus wants to sign the mail, which obviously wouldn't work), and it asks for the passphrase when sending. I enter it and get a bad passphrase together with an error (backtrace below) I have created a test gpg key and played with the passphrase, and one that triggered the error was MitPara§. MitDollar$, on the other hand, worked fine. What should I do to debug this? Is this list the right one, or should I ask the gnus people? The details I can provide so far are ,[ C-h v emacs-version RET ] | emacs-version is a variable defined in `version.el'. | Its value is 22.0.94.1 | [...] ` ,[ C-h v gnus-version RET ] | gnus-version is a variable defined in `gnus.el'. | Its value is Gnus v5.11 | [...] ` There's no other gnus installed: ~$ dpkg -l gnus Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++--- pn gnus none (no description available) This is the error message: [GNUPG:] USERID_HINT FB1B3D632252FA1A Frank KÃŒster [EMAIL PROTECTED] [GNUPG:] NEED_PASSPHRASE FB1B3D632252FA1A FB1B3D632252FA1A 17 0 [GNUPG:] BAD_PASSPHRASE FB1B3D632252FA1A gpg: skipped frank: bad passphrase gpg: signing failed: bad passphrase And this is the backtrace: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error Sign error) signal(error (Sign error)) error(Sign error) mml2015-pgg-sign((part (sign . pgpmime) (tag-location . 333) (contents . hallo\n-- \nDr. Frank K\xf7cster\nSingle Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f.
