Hello folks.

I have a little problem with KMail, where for the most part it reliably detects and gives me the standard option to decrypt GPG-encrypted emails. Like below.


But a friend of mine has sent me an email which I could only decrypt after downloading it and opening the file separately. Is there a way to directly decrypt the file in KMail like the others?

Which version of KMail are you using? Also what's the output of "gpg --list-packets" when run against the saved encrypted message?

I am running Kubuntu 14.04 with KMail 4.13.3 with stock Plasma 4 and openSUSE 13.2 with KMail 4.14.6 on Plasma 5. I have published the output below with my friend's details redacted.

Code: Select all

:pubkey enc packet: version 3, algo 1, keyid REDACTED
        data: [4094 bits]
:pubkey enc packet: version 3, algo 1, keyid REDACTED
        data: [2047 bits]

You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "Rewarp <rewarp@thestrayworld.com>"
2048-bit RSA key, ID AAAF9A2E, created 2015-03-29 (main key ID DB1D35D4)

:encrypted data packet:
        length: unknown
        mdc_method: 2
gpg: encrypted with 4096-bit RSA key, ID REDACTED, created REDACTED
      "REDACTED"
gpg: encrypted with 2048-bit RSA key, ID AAAF9A2E, created 2015-03-29
      "Rewarp <rewarp@thestrayworld.com>"
:compressed packet: algo=2
:literal data packet:
        mode t (74), created 1430098508, name="",
        raw data: unknown length

I have filed a bug report on the matter.

Thanks, I got some notes on further debugging from a developer, but it seems I lost them...
