By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Kris 2012-08-19 13:11:34 CDT

When signing emails via my OpenPGP key, Kmail displays a dialog asking for a passphrase. It recommends using gpg-agent for better security, and says to visit a URL for instructions on how to set it up. This URL is:

http://kmail.kde.org/kmail-pgpmime-howto.html

This redirects to a page on kde.org about Kontact which does not contain any information related to GPG or any other OpenPGP implementation.

Here are some links:

http://userbase.kde.org/KMail/PGP_MIME
http://wikisandbox.kde.org/index.php?title=KMail/PGP_MIME&action=edit
http://freebsd.kde.org/howtos/gnupg-kmail.php

I can update the KMail dialog link, but is a better solution to copy the appropriate sections to our web site or wiki?

Another option is to change the dialog URL to the help handbook docs:

khelpcenter help:/kmail/pgp.html

I'd recommend changing the link to the handbook doc, and add a handbook doc about about setting up gpg-agent (since the dialog recommends using gpg-agent).

Patch to fix URL

This patch fixes the URL referenced in the original problem report.

The page referred to by the updated link is on the kde web site. There is no guarantee the web page will be maintained. As already discussed, the information should be copied into the kmail help handbook and the link updated accordingly.

Patch in attachment 903 [details] pushed to GIT in commit .

The patch is a temporary fix. The new web page link contents should be merged to a docbook file to preserve the information.
