Description Rémi Denis-Courmont 2006-02-08 16:35:52 UTC
Version:           1.9.1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
Compiler:          gcc 4.0.x 
OS:                Linux

This is a minor bug.

I have a single GPG key pair (0xDD6D12BD), with multiple email address UIDs; they are ((©) = @):

- Remi.Denis-Courmont (©) via.ecp.fr
- rdenis (©) simphalempin.com
- remi.denis-courmont (©) centrale-paris.net
- courmisch (©) via.ecp.fr
- rem (©) videolan.org

Within Kmail, I also have several identities, all set to use one and the same GPG key pair for signing; they are:

- Remi.Denis-Courmont (©) via.ecp.fr
- rdenis (©) simphalempin.com
- remi.denis-courmont (©) student.ecp.fr
- courmisch (©) via.ecp.fr
- rem (©) videolan.org

When I tell Kmail to use  my key with an identity whose email address is not included in the key pair addresses (in this case, remi.denis-courmont(©)student.ecp.fr), it prints a warning, which is OK. That warning says that other users might have trouble with signed/encrypted email when the sender email does not match the signing key.

Then, when I configure an identity whose email address is one of my key pair UIDs, it does not print said warning, if the email address specified is one of:

- rdenis (©) simphalempin.com
- courmisch (©) via.ecp.fr
- rem (©) videolan.org

But it strangely prints a warning when the email address is Remi.Denis-Courmont (©) via.ecp.fr, which is obviously wrong. I'd suspect a problem with uppercase, though I use exactly the same case in GnuPG and Kmail.

Sincerely,

I recently fixed a bug (in trunk) regarding uppercase/lowercase checking of the e-mail address, I guess this is the same.
I also had the exact same case and got the warning.

My upper-case key is revoked, so I am going to have to trust that this is resolved... Thanks.

Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this version of Kmail has been unmaintained for many years so I am closing this bug. Please try using the latest version of Kmail to see if your issue persists. If it does, please submit a new bug in "kmail2". Thank you!
