------- Additional Comments From Mark.Martinec ijs si  2006-05-22 15:54 -------
Five years later, KDE 3.5.2, KMail 1.9.1, latest gpg,
gpgsm 1.9.20 (or 1.9.19) (FreeBSD 5.4 or 6.0 or 6.1, KDE from ports)
I would hope the problem were resolved by now. It is very annoying
when kmail gets stuck for minutes or forever when just stepping
through a list of messages, when one of them happens to have an
unverifiable signature. I'm observing this behaviour for the last
two or three years, various versions in use.

And? Any progress?

Killing a gpgsm process indeed unties a lock and lets KMail
come to life again. There should be an automatic timeout
or a manual abort option on the KMail side. Or prominent
instructions in the manual on how to unhang KMail.
