Description goblinstomper 2011-02-22 12:39:32 UTC
Version:           1.13.6 (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

Recently I tried to add my gpg key for signing purposes to KMail, and perhaps this is more of a cleopatra bug than a kmail one. However, I think it would make sense that since there is a "manage certificates" under Tools in the main menu bar it would also make sense to have a "manage keys" invoking kgpg key management http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdeutils/kgpg/manage.html in the same location. This would solve the problem I had of having no apparent way of importing my old key. 

(Configure->Identities etc. relies on the certificate manager, Cleopatra however does a) not regcognize the key as a certificate b) trying to import they key using the "any file" option" results in an error messege saying that certificate type could not be determined)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Start Kmail, use cleopatra to generate a key, verify that you got a working key.
2) Export your key from Cleopatra, save it somewhere safe (like external USB memory)
3) Re-format your harddrive
4) reinstall everything and try to add your old key to Kmail.

Actual Results:  
I got confused and frustrated as either generating a new key or depending on networked services seemed to be my only options

Expected Results:  
The software should have an obvious way of invoking Kgpg's 'Key management' as displayed here: http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdeutils/kgpg/manage.html

Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented.
Thank you for your understanding.

Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2

There is still no obvious obvious way to invoke kgpg in Kmail ..which ever version I get with SC 4.9 (it doesn't actually say, it only refers to being improved from 1.13). Adding a gpg key to a clean install is still a figurative pain and a task which not really easy for beginners to perform.
