Cool.

I'm having difficulty reproducing this now. Not sure if that's a good 
thing (it's fixed?) or a bad thing (just hard to reproduce?).

I think traditional GnuPG Signing/Encrypting doesn't make sense for 
HTML mails. Because there is no significant body part, HTML mails 
only consist of alternative attachments, (and traditional GnuPG 
signing/encryption doesn't support encrypting/signing attachments).

I think if KMail is configured for traditional GnuPG support then 
signing/encryption should be completely disabled, anything else would 
be dangerous and a security flaw.

S/MIME support should be possible, but it doesn't seem to make sense 
working on that now with the S/MIME code being modified in the 
aegypten_branch and pending merging.

I can reproduce this. I'll try to find to look at it but please let me 
know if you fix it first, I'll do the same.

Ingo, Cornelius I'd appreciate a comment on the S/MIME 
signing/encryption and HTML editing situation. Wait for the aegypten 
merge or commit before? 

Don.
