Comment:
Still visible in my Kubuntu Dapper Flight5 Up2Date with KDE 3.5.2.

Kmail NEVER asks me for passphrase when opening crypted mails.

Indeed, when sending, passphrase is asked with a warning about gpg-agent (but the package is named gnupg-agent !!! => Confusion...), but never for decryption.

Indeed, for having correct GnuPG working in KMail, fantastic manipulation needs to be done :
http://kmail.kde.org/kmail-pgpmime-howto.html
(french translation disponible here : http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/applications/kmail_openpgp )

This manipulation IS working, but needs hard work from user, including the creation of the files in ~/.gnupg/ and ~/.kde/Autostart AND going to support wiki (which should not happen, huh...)

So, at least two things to be done :

1. Change that error message that is old and unadapted to (K)Ubuntu (as it could, thanks to packaging)
2. Make gnupg-agent installation a lot more easier (another bug to file ?)
