Bug ID: 329961
Summary: PGP silently fails to encrypt mails for users with
different encryption protocols (pgp/mime vs inline
pgp)
Classification: Unclassified
Product: kmail2
Version: 4.12
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: crypto
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
setup:
- two users (A and B) in address book
- user A is set to allow only inline pgp mails
- user B is set to allow only pgp/mime mails
problem:
if you write a mail to both users and select one of the two protocols, the mail
is send without feedback to the user. However, kmail fails to encrypt the mail
to the user with the other protocol. Therefore the mail is unreadable, if you
select inline pgp for user b and it is unreadable for user a if you select
pgp/mime.
possible solutions:
1. Inform the user that it is not possible to send an encrypted mail to both
users at once
2. Send the mail in different protocol versions to the different users.
I think that solution 2 is the best approach. Maybe there should be a warning
to the user and the possibility to abort. The second approach might interfere
with bug 121692.
Reproducible: Always
