Description David Ochel 2003-02-05 21:10:49 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:          Linux

Using kmail 1.5 of KDE 1.3.0 and GnuPG 1.0.7,

creating an email with addressees in the "to" and "bcc" header,
choosing built-in encryption,
attaching an already encrypted file (encrypted using the same gpg, ascii armored),

kmail makes two emails out of the message, encrypts them separately and sends some (obivously not MIME-compliant) stuff to the recipients, wich kmail itself seems to be not able to interpret in a useful way...

btw: what's the reason for splitting up emails with bcc'ed recipients - hiding who's bcc'ed to the non bcc'ed?

thx, David

Exactly. Else you could have as well cc'ed the message if you didn't 
want to hide the bcc'ed recipients. Yes, sometimes it doesn't matter. 
But on other times it does matter.

I don't know what you mean by "sends some (obivously not MIME-compliant) stuff to the recipients". It seems to work fine here. Please reopen if you are still able to reproduce this with KMail 1.7 or later.
