Subject: Bug#7016: No encryption in case of missing secret key for signing
From: Stefan Suchi <suchi () gmx ! de>

Package: kmail
Version: 1.0.29.2
If I try to send a message SIGNED and ENCRYPTED and the "PGP User Identity"
is not found in my secret keyring (for example because my email-address has
changed) the message is sent unsigned and unencrypted without any warning.
To me this behavior looks like a mayor security problem.
I would suggest that in this case an error message pops up like itīs doing
in the case a recipient key could not be found or that the message is at
least sent unsigned, but encrypted.
My system: SuSE-6.1, KDE-1.1.2, kmail-1.0.29.2, PGP-2.6.3i.
