Hello Daniel, When I booted the computer this morning, kmail and gpg were working perfectly. I guess the computer just needed a reboot. I had made the changes you suggested and added the "gpg-agent --daemon" line to a script in ~/.kde/env and I just restarted X. Looks like this needs a full reboot to take effect.

Hi!
Just check again, that gpg-agent is being started when you log in.
Then check the gpg-agent config so that gpg-agent knows a program which it can start to ask you for passphrase, a so named pinentry program. I suggest pinentry-qt (check if you have that package "pinentry" installed).
I have a ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf with this content:
pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-qt no-grab default-cache-ttl 1800
Good luck!
Greets, Daniel

Hello all,
I just purchased suse 9.3 and I am doing a fresh install. Everything has gone well except for decrypting email.
I have kgpg running and all setup (all private and public keys imported, etc.) I have kmail setup and I can send and retrieve email.
However, when I receive an encrypt email, Kmail says that my passphrase is bad. But it didn't ask. Kmail does work for checking the signature of email (but only if they are not encrypted).
Kmail does ask for my passphrase when I can send encrypted email.
I find this very frustrating. I am upgrading from suse 9.1 which setting up gpg in kmail was done in 2 minutes! I have been souring the web and finding things to try (like starting gpg-agent?) but nothing is working.
Anyone on this list find a solution for suse 9.3?
Thanks,
Alvin
