Description Torsten Krah 2008-06-23 14:12:09 UTC

Version:           1.9.9 (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

If you got a smime certificate with two or more email attributes in the subject, kmail issues everytime you want to sign or encrypt something a warning about an unsure trust state of the certificate used, which looks like: 

CN=User,EMAIL=x.x@x.x,EMAIL=y.y@y.y

The warning is:

##############################
Eines oder mehrere der gewählten OpenPGP-Schüssel oder S/MIME-Zertifikate sind nicht voll vertrauenswürdig.
Bei den folgenden Schlüsseln oder Zertifikaten ist der Grad der Vertrauenswürdigkeit unklar: 
##############################

Thats a valid cert and i am trusting the issuer.
Using a certificate from the same issuer which looks like this:

CN=User,EMAIL=x.x@x.x

works without any warning.
Why kmail does complain about smime certs, which got more than one email address? Is there a workaround yet or need this bug some code fix?

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report.

KMail2 was released in 2011, and the entire code base went through significant changes. We are currently in the process of porting to Qt5 and KF5. It is unlikely that these bugs are still valid in KMail2.

We welcome you to try out KMail 2 with the KDE 4.14 release and give your feedback.
