Sentry Crash Report:
Attachments: PGP Key with UID that isn't 7-bit clean

Description Michal Čihař 2003-04-08 23:50:47 UTC 
Version:           1.5.1 (using KDE KDE 3.1.1)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:          Linux

Information about who signed the message is always in iso-8859-1 while gpg supports unicode and this breaks some characters... eg:

Message was signed by Michal

Actually, the OpenPGP RFC states that the name field must be in UTF-8 enconding. 
KMail displays incorrectly as a ISO-8859-1 field. This must be corrected.

PGP Key with UID that isn't 7-bit clean

You can add the attached key to your keyring and see that it is incorrectly
displayed in the keylisting windows.  (The problem is not just when displaying
signed messages.) For more information on what I think is the cause of the
problem, see:

Comment 3 Fabrício dos Anjos Silva 2003-04-11 03:54:02 UTC 
Ok, I confirm the escape problem, but that's not what happens with KMail header. When 
reading a signed message, KMail adds a header that says "Message was signed by". 
The following name is shown as it was a ISO-8859-1 name, which it is not. Characters 
that are encoded by two bytes are shown as two strange characters, thus proving my 
point. It is not shown escaped.

Subject: Re:  pgp signature is wrong displayed

Thanks for your bug report. The problem was that the output of GnuPG 
wasn't interpreted correctly. This has been fixed. The fix will be in 
KMail 1.5.2 (KDE 3.1.2).
