Description mateMat 2026-02-06 15:35:14 UTC 
SUMMARY

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Get your work email to use PGP on Kmail 6.6
2. Send a couple of encrypted emails to your favorite co-worker
3. when the popup "encryption Key approval" setting popup configured it to "Encrypt whenever encryption is possible".
3. Every time you reply to him from a decrypted email, the draft is not set to activate encryption.

OBSERVED RESULT
A communication was send without being encrypted, breach of confidentiality.

EXPECTED RESULT
