Have you used the supplementary updates for 9.0 to update your KDE? If not, you probably should. It will (probably) fix this problem and get you newer versions of KDE software, which is a good thing.
Dear Randall Have used all the patches via Yast update. Started wit Synaptic but run into difficulties if I want to upgrade the KDE RPM file which supplies Kmail. Will have another try because today I had another file with signature. What makes them stick out is the fact that they include a number (seen a 2 and today a 4) behind the Re. How does the writer gets a number behind the Re and why. For now I will use the filter function and transport the email with Re[2] etc. direct to the trash file. Pity because it could that the originator has something of interest in his email but so be it.
The "Re[2]" is just a particular mailer's way of indicating something about the replay (what, I'm not sure). It most certainly is not the source of the problem and when that user sends another signed message that doesn't have that pattern in the subject (and your filter fails to detect it) and you stumble upon it, the same thing will happen (i.e., your KMail will crash). And it's not just that user. It's just the particular cryptographic format chosen to sign their message. Here's the way to keep this kind of land-mine out of your way: Create a filter that: -) Detects messages whose "Content-Type" field contains "pkcs7-signature". -) Set the filter action to move the message to a folder that you'll assiduously avoid opening in KMail. -) Put the filter at or near the top of your filter set. You probably want to set the "If this filter matches, stop processing here" option. Keep in mind that you can still see these messages, albeit in a crude form, by simply opening the mailbox into which you filter them in a plain text editor. Good luck. Randall Schulz
