I can confirm the bug with kde4.2.1 as provided by "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-experimental/ubuntu intrepid main" in /etc/apt/sources.list. I reacently upgraded for 8.04 to 8.10.
There are at least theses 2 bug reports, which seem to be related: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/262748 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/268951 Temporary workaround (see link in comment 3 and 4): End kmail (or whatever is supposed to ask for the passphrase) and from a console: $ eval "$(gpg-agent --daemon)" $ kmail Permanent Workaround (untested): Put "$(gpg-agent --daemon)" into /.kde/env/gpgagent.sh In my humble opinion, all the bug reports, including this one, are assigned to the wrong packages (kdepim, gnupg, enigmail). As nobody with another desktop environment than KDE seems to have a problem (??), some KDE-package (kdebase* or kdelibs*) might be more appropriate. As the issue seems to be unsolved for more than 3 months and the bug renders the system unusable for sending signed and reading encrypted mails for a 'normal' user, being a regression from 8.04, one might consider to change the importance of the bug.
