Version: 1.9.5 (using KDE 3.5.5, Kubuntu (edgy) 4:3.5.5-0ubuntu3.1) Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.17-10-386 Hi, I think there should be an option in the Security > Composing > Encryption section saying "Suggest using GnuPG if key available or found". To rise awareness of GnuPG, encryption, and general online privacy. If a key is already imported or otherwishe available, then suggest using it! By "or found" I mean KMail should suggest automaticlly importing public keys from the messages you reply to if any keys are pressent. Pressing "Send" could trigger a dialoug asking "Would you like to encrypt this message for aditional privacy? [Yes, guide me trough] [No, just send]", or adding an additonal option alongside "Send" saying "Send encrypted" in the toolbar.
I may not be understanding correctly, but can't Kmail already do this? If you go here: (Settings -> Configure Kmail -> Security -> Reading) there is an option to "Automatically Encrypt Messages Whenever Possible". If valid keys are found for all users receiving the message, Kmail prompts the user as to whether they would like to encrypt the message or send in the clear. (Note you can also set encryption preferences on a per-contact basis via Kaddressbook.) There is also an option in Kmail to "Always show the encryption keys for approval", which prompts the user before sending the message. (This also gives the user an opportunity to cancel sending.) There is also an option to "Automatically Import Keys and Certificates". (Settings -> Configure Kmail -> Security -> Reading) This one I haven't tested myself. Will these options provide the functionality you're looking for?
What I wanted where the "To rise awareness of GnuPG, encryption, and general online privacy. " part, and I suggested a way of doing it.
Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented. Thank you for your understanding.
Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
