Hi,

not sure if this is a KMail or rather gpg-agent / pinentry problem. The first 
time I try to send an encrypted/signed mail or read an encrypted one, i.e. 
the first time I need my passphrase, I get the error message
<quote>
This message could not be signed!
 
The Crypto Plug-In /usr/local/aegypten/lib/gpgme/gpgme-openpgp.so
reported the following details:
 
    #19 : No Passphrase
 
Your configuration might be invalid or the Plug-In damaged.

instead of pinentry's passphrase dialog. When I try again, it works okay.
This behaviour is 100% reproducable.
Am I the only one with this problem?

PS: Hitting "Cancel" in pinentry's dialog just brings up pinentry again, and 
again, and again; only after the third time it's possible to cancel the whole 
thing, which also shows the above error message. IMNSHO the "Cancel" button 
should just do what its label suggests ;-)

After trying to cancel the entry this way, gpg-agent needs to be restarted and 
a zombie pinentry process keeps hanging around.
