Description Georg Wittenburg 2004-11-19 09:18:38 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.1)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

In KMail's message list, all PGP/Mime encrypted and signed Mails are listed with the following icons: status (new,read,...), attachment (the paper clip), encrypted, and signed. However, the attachement icons shouldn't be there for those mails that actually do not contain an attachment.

And yet it's not a normal one.
We have code to detect this now, maybe that was done after 3.3.1, I'm not sure.

Comment 2 Georg Wittenburg 2004-12-27 16:55:20 UTC

Just a quick note that this bug is still present in KDE 3.3.2.

Comment 3 Georg Wittenburg 2005-04-03 19:43:09 UTC

Still not implemented in KDE 3.4.

Comment 4 Georg Wittenburg 2005-12-13 03:04:15 UTC

In KDE 3.5, this bug has been partially fixed: PGP-signed mails are shown correctly, i.e. without attachment icon. However, PGP-encrypted mails still incorrectly have this icon in the message list.

Comment 5 Georg Wittenburg 2006-02-02 01:40:49 UTC

Not fixed in 3.5.1.

Comment 6 Georg Wittenburg 2008-06-23 00:58:13 UTC

Not fixed in 4.0.82.

Comment 7 Georg Wittenburg 2008-07-19 16:52:14 UTC

Not fixed in 4.0.98.

Comment 8 Dominik Tritscher 2008-09-14 17:34:43 UTC

Behaviour is still the same as described in Comment #4 using kmail from svn trunk r860647. So it shows the attachement icon for encrypted mails but not for signed messages, where it shouldn't display an icon for any of them.

Comment 9 Ronny Standtke 2009-10-31 22:18:08 UTC

We need a "not fixed" message for this year too. I just run into this issue again with KDE-4.3.2 (on Kubuntu-9-10).

Comment 10 Jeroen van Meeuwen (Kolab Systems) 2012-06-08 14:11:03 UTC

Quite the ticket with a number of anniversaries - not intended as a positive paramater.

I do not have the aforementioned issue with pgp signed, pgp encrypted nor pgp signed/encrypted messages in Kontact 4.8.3. I'm therefore closing this ticket as FIXED.

However, if the issue still exists in a recent version of KDE, please feel free to reopen the ticket.
