Signing E-Mail Messages in KMail Does Not Work
Support knowledgebase (fhassel_kmail82)
Applies to
SuSE Linux: Version 8.2
Symptom
You cannot sign any e-mail messages in Kmail. According to the displayed error message, the
entered password is wrong. However, you are sure to have entered the right password.
Solution
Use an ASCII editor of your choice to edit the file ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf located in your home directory
and disable the entry use-agent by inserting a comment sign before it:
# We support the old experimental passphrase agent protocol as well
# as the new Assuan based one (currently available in the "newpg" package
# at ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/aegypten/). To make use of the agent, you have
# to run an agent as daemon and use the option
#
#use-agent
Now you should be able to sign your e-mail messages.
