[gentoo-user] Kmail Crypto error
Two machines almost identically configured. The second will not show encrypted messages in a readable format after they have been sent. The Kmail error is: Encrypted message (decryption not possible) Reason: Crypto plug-in openpgp could not decrypt the data. Error: Bad passphrase Encrypted data not shown. End of encrypted message I have ticked encrypt to self, so I was expecting that the senders passphrase would be asked and the message would become readable in the Sent Folder. Any ideas? -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

KMail is no longer (it is some time already) able to ask for the passphrase itself, you need gpg-agent properly configured and running. Other applications using pgp are moving in this direction too (there are some safety issues with every application asking for the passphrase by itself). You probably can find more here http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gnupg-user.xml.

Of course, I forgot that I hadn't configured the machine in question to launch gpg-agent when kdm starts up (this box is running KDE, the other is not). It works fine now. Thank you! :) -- Regards, Mick pgpubjy98nRU7.pgp Description: PGP signature
