Description Marc Schiffbauer 2013-07-24 14:11:18 UTC

I assume that this is not a bug in kmail at all, as attached plaintext keys should be marked as application/pgp-keys instead of text/plain.

But in reality there are Encryption gateways out there which attach peoples pgp-keys as text/plain

However, to increase interoperability and usability it might be good to some more "intelligence":

Would it be complicated to implement if kmail checked the file-extension of an attachement and if the message is signed and/or encryped, and if a text/plain part is detected with a filename like *.asc, then handle that part if it was application/pgp-keys?

That way one could just import the key by klicking on it...

Ideas?

Reproducible: Always
