Description Philippe Fremy 2003-02-18 12:17:43 UTC
Version:           1.5 (using KDE 3.1.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.1 20021207 (Gentoo Linux 3.2.1-20021207)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.19-gentoo-r9

When somebody sends me a mail with some crypto info and I hit reply, I get the following stuff:

> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
> Hash: SHA1
>

> [ content of the mail I am replaying to]

> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
> Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux)
>
> iD8DBQE+UTmf72KcVAmwbhARAgtkAJ98yW++2SdYEinEA22SIrDmQEiG4wCcCj0z
> FR15d3NCW28e6znZwAB73Vs=
> =v7Rv
> -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

In replies, it is not useful to keep all this crypto information. I would be nice if kmail could strip off these lines in the reply mail.

Simply install gpg. Then KMail will strip the crypto info off in 
replies.

Please consider keeping the bug open, as a wishlist item, even if you don't 
plan implementing it.

The majority of the kmail users don't have openPgp installed and don't even 
know what it is, which is why by default it is not enabled.

By discarding the issue, you are saying "we don't care about those users. 
They should install openPgp or go to hell". I am a bit disappointed with 
this attitude. Yes, installing openPgp is a way to solve the problem but it 
does not fix the issue.

Re-opened upon request although it will probably not be implemented anytime soon (if ever). 
Comment 4 Bernhard E. Reiter 2003-02-25 18:22:04 UTC
Please note that the PGP lines are regular contents. 
KMail has not good means to decide wether this actually 
wanted text for not, this is why PGP/MIME has a different mimepart. 
 
Comment 5 Philippe Fremy 2003-02-25 18:40:11 UTC
But I assume the form of it is standardized, no ? How does PGP to recognise it ? It 
should not be difficult with a few heuristic to remove (before displaying) 
something that looks very much like a PGP header. 
 
One minute of google gives me this: 
http://sunsite.icm.edu.pl/gnupg/rfc2440-6.html 
 
So it is actually possible to write a pgp filter text that does nothing but remove 
the PGP header/footer. Of course, this is only interesting for signed mails, not for 
encrypted mails :-)

In KMail 1.8 you can use PGP/MIME to get rid of the cleartext signing. Would that be okay for you, or better, can you give that version a try (it's in KDE 3.4 in case you don't know that)?
Comment 7 Myriam Schweingruber 2012-08-18 08:24:27 UTC
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.
Comment 8 Luigi Toscano 2012-08-19 01:05:16 UTC
Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
