Description Ingo Klöcker 2004-07-11 16:28:50 UTC 
Version:           unknown (using KDE 3.2 BRANCH >= 20040204, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3 20030226 (prerelease) (SuSE Linux)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.20-4GB

Using only Aegypten1 stuff.

Crypto format is "Any", signing and encryption is enabled. If I send the message KMail tells me

"Valid trusted encryption keys were found for all recipients.
Encrypt this message?"

Doh! Why do you think I have enabled encryption?

This pointless question should be suppressed.

I see the code for this in MessageComposer::determineWhetherToEncrypt()
It happens when the encryption preferences are:
  case Kleo::AskOpportunistic:
  case Kleo::Ask:

Could the problem be that somehow the default is one of those?

Well if the user wants to be asked........
But in general there's indeed a bit of a conflict between the toolbar buttons 
and the more pre-recipient settings; not an easy problem to solve.

Hi, just noting that this is still a problem in 4.1.0, and makes using the crypto functions of KMail really confusing.
Comment 3 George Kiagiadakis 2008-09-14 23:03:05 UTC 
Could someone please add some instructions on how to reproduce this bug? Thanks.
Comment 4 Martin Koller 2009-08-01 15:59:36 UTC 
As the original reports text is no longer in the 4.3 RC3 source and there was no reply to comment #3, I'll close this bug.
