Description Dennis Hansen 2003-12-13 11:38:07 UTC

Version:           1.5.3 (using KDE 3.1.3)
Installed from:    Mandrake Linux Cooker i586 - Cooker
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.2 (Mandrake Linux 9.1 3.2.2-3mdk)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.21-0.26mdk

It seems that kmail smime plugin can not handle encrypted email
if the encryption method used was RC2 (128bit).
If I recive an email like that it will tele me
(translated) :
Status:Inner systemerror #0 ocurred.

If 3DES (156) was used all is good.

I noticed this problem when a friend sent me this type
of emails from his email client thebat! it defaults to RC2 (128bit)
encryption.
If he changes to 3Des, I have no problem decrypting it.

Additional info if it matters:
$ /usr/bin/gpg-agent --version
gpg-agent (GnuPG) 0.9.4

$ /usr/bin/dirmngr --version
dirmngr 0.4.3

Cryptplug 
(/usr/lib/cryptplug/gpgme-smime.so) is from
cryptplug-0.3.15-2mdk  Mandrake 9.1 rpm

Cheers

Forwarded the bug report to the appropriate place:

Comment 2 Bernhard E. Reiter 2003-12-15 19:03:38 UTC

According to the issue10, this is indeed a KMail bug,
because the error message is not displayed correctly.

Comment 3 Ingo Klöcker 2003-12-16 15:59:45 UTC

Okay, the error message should be fixed.

Comment 4 Fernando Vilas 2008-11-09 19:09:41 UTC

I tried to duplicate this in KMail 1.10.1, but I don't think I have the right setup for it.  This may (or may not) still be a bug.

Should this bug be closed?

Comment 6 Laurent Montel 2015-04-12 10:23:38 UTC

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report.

KMail2 was released in 2011, and the entire code base went through significant changes. We are currently in the process of porting to Qt5 and KF5. It is unlikely that these bugs are still valid in KMail2.

We welcome you to try out KMail 2 with the KDE 4.14 release and give your feedback.
