This is still a problem KMail doesn't ask for a passphrase when opening an encrypted mail and just states "bad passphrase"
I fixed it with installing pinentry-qt, gnupg-agent and removing the # in front of use-agent in the gpg.conf I don't think that's an elegant solution for something as important as email encryption, especially as the dependencys didn't really help. I read somewhere an idea about a package for this, maybe something like kmail-gpg :requires -> pinentry-qt :requires -> gnupg-agent and modifying the gpg.conf ... And a better message then "Bad passphrase" would help people locating the problem, took me some time to find a solution to this -- kmail don't ask the phrase for decipher https://launchpad.net/bugs/15485 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
