hello folks i'm having quite a few problems, setting up pgp/mime support in kmail - it's possible that this problem isn't debian specific at all - i just thought i'll ask here first.
another question first (ok, this may be offtopic - sorry for that. which list would you consider asking this?): i'm using unstable and it's not easy, installing all components needed - debian mirrors don't provide pineentry or newpg. i had to fetch them from an unofficial source (http://ma2geo.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de/public-debian/). why does unstable lack the support for openpgp/s-mime? anyway - my problem is: i followed the pgp/mime-guide at http://kmail.kde.org/kmail-pgpmime-howto.html i successfully set up pineentry (both qt and gtk versions) and also tested it on the commandline - where it works without problems (the qt or gtk-dialog appears and my passphrase is kept in memory). in kmail, i configured the openpgp-plugin under security/cryptoplugins and also activated it. first question: do i have to keep the inline openpgp-interface (in the tab openPGP) activated or shall i deactivate it? i deactivated it - but it doesn't seem to change anything. my old messages which were decrypted using inline-openpgp still get decrypted using the inline-one. second question: do both methods (plugin and inline) work properly together or do i have to get rid of one (supposedly the inline-one) ? ok, i then went over to the few pgp/mime-mails i had received and hoped that i would finally be able to decrypt them. but i still get the same error on every message: --- Cannot decrypt message. Error: No passphrase. Content could *not* be decrypted. reason:No passphrase. End of encrypted message --- i also get this error when i encrypt something on the command-line and my passphrase is in memory. third question: what have i missed or what have i done wrong? help would be very appreciated - thanks a lot in advance!
