I do not understand what has happened here. I use gpg signing a lot, mostly because I
am a Nominet tag holder and signed mail to the Nominet Auotomaton is how domain
registrations are managed. With KDE3.05/Kmail1.4.3 I could choose from Options to
send sugned mail and on reading signed messages they were recognised as such and
signaled as verified or not.
I upgraded to KDE3.1 by downloading the SuSE8.1 rpms, dropping out of the graphical
environment, su root, rpm -Fvh ..., back out of root, and startx. Seemed painless.
When I tried to sign a message in KMail1.5 the option was not available. When I
recieved a signed messsage a dialogue popped up:
Problem: OpenPGP plug-in was not specified.
Use the 'Settings->Configure KMail->Security' dialog to specify the plug-in or
ask your system administrator to do that for you.
I downloaded the files for the plug-in and then discovered that I needed some
developer libs, then ran out of time so just used another machine with KDE3.05 to send
signed messages. I had however moved the gpg options file to ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf and
have probably closed and opened Kmail.
Today I find that the 'Sign Message' option is back, and am about to try it.
Incoming signed mail (e.g. your message to this thread) still produces the warning
dialogue.
Older signed messages that had been retrieved with KMail1.4.3 does not produce the
dialoge, and does display the status of the signature.
