After aggressively cleaning out old versions of the Agypten libraries and following the instructions at http://www.gnupg.org/aegypten2/index.html (but still using cryptplug for the KMail interface), I finally managed to compile a S/MIME plugin that works with KMail.
I can view encrypted S/MIME messages that were sent to me. After entering my password, I am able to view the decrypted contents. However, I am not able to check the signature on the e-mail. I see the following message instead: "Not enough information to check signature. [Details] Status: A system error occurred." When I attempt to send signed e-mails, KMail hangs. The processor utilization goes to 100% and KMail appears totally frozen. I used ps to check running processes. It appears that KMail is continually re-launching gpgsm. gpgsm launches gpg-agent. Apparently gpg-agent dies or quits, gpgsm then dies or quits and KMail relaunches everything. Any ideas? I am running the following versions of the libraries: cryptplug-0.3.16 gpgme-0.3.16 libgpg-error-0.7 dirmngr-0.5.2 libassuan-0.6.4 libksba-0.9.5 gnupg-1.9.7 libgcrypt-1.2.0 pinentry-0.7.1 KMail 1.6.2 (from KDE 3.2.2) On Friday 23 April 2004 09:49 am, Joseph A.
