-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hiya gang, I've seen quite a few posts in the list that were signed with gpg (or pgp I guess). Some just have a simple, short yellow line letting me know that I don't have this key on my keyring. Others though, have a big fat yellow line with the following in it: Message was signed with unknown key. The validity of the signature cannot be verified. Problem: OpenPGP plug-in was not specified. Use the 'Settings->Configure KMail->Security' dialog to specify the plug-in or ask your system administrator to do that for you. Okay, no problem. I go into the security setup part in kmail, found the plugins in /usr/lib/cryptplug (containing:gpgme-openpgp.a, .la, .so and gpgme-smime.a, .la, .so). I highlighted gpgme-openpgp.so, and clicked the 'activate' button and an asterisk shows up next to it in the window affirming it's activated. I then click 'apply', and kmail crashes. Just disappears, and I have to click on the kmail icon to start it again. I did this with the gpgme-smime.so also, exactly as I did with the other, and when I click 'apply', it crashes kmail. I tried this with each of the six things in /usr/lib/cryptplug one at a time, and each one crashes kmail when I click 'apply'. I have two SuSE public keys on my keyring, and they show up green in an email. My own show up green. Others like I said, show up as they should if I don't have their public key, but many that I *do* have the public key of, show up with the big fat response I gave above. Is anyone else having the same problems trying to get a plugin thing to work in kmail (SuSE 8.2, patched everything that YOU said I needed)? Should I report this as a bug to someone (the kde team? the kmail team?...), or does someone have an idea what's happening and a way to fix it? Thanks for any help. Take care and be good.
