------- Additional Comments From kde-bugzilla thequod de  2007-06-07 02:37 -------
1. You need pinentry (e.g. pinentry-qt)
2. You need gpg-agent running
I see two bugs here:
1. The "wrong passphrase" error displayed in the header of the mail is wrong and \
misleading. 2. KMail should not depend on gpg-agent. It should rather fall back to \
the same dialog, that gets used when encrypting a mail:  "Passphrase Dialog - KMail"
  You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for user:
  KEYID User Name

  This dialog will reappear every time the passphrase is needed.
  ...
  For information on how to set up gpg-agent, see
  http://kmail.kde.org/kmail-pgpmime-howto.html
2a: There seem to be two different pinentry objects used internally: one for \
encrypting and one for decrypting. I've noticed this, because I had to re-type the \
password when encrypting while I just had typed it for decryption. After it had been \
entered for "both use cases", it was not required again.


If you have further problems, please report what gets displayed on the konsole, when \
you start kmail from there and then access an encrypted mail. This might be \
"gpgme_op_decrypt_verify() returned this error code:  117440523" - that's what I was \
getting when I removed pinentry/gpg-agent.

I suggest using e.g. "keychain", see http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/keychain/.
Please try keeping this bug item about (fixing) the bug - there should be enough \
workarounds posted now already. _______________________________________________
