Bug Description
Binary package hint: kopete
Kopete Version: 0.12.1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)
Installed from: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Kubuntu 6.06
Kubuntu updated kopete a few days ago, and now incoming GPG IM messages are no longer properly decrypted.
I have tested by firing up Psi and using the same key, and messages coming in to Psi are decrypted properly. Then when I close Psi and start kopete and have someone send me an encrypted message, all I see is something like this:
-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----
hQIOA3GKls6EdHU
nsjeCfGOmjzUn2x
w05OaURNTmoCD62
QvSoYJxhNtuOuWe
fsebU79hX6TPqYo

Jis6diAS3GAAy0b
C7LbO4HJWwZUyXy
L53KnE5BN7i0fqM
dMkZmWLT7/
=+Z/+
-----END PGP MESSAGE-----
instead of the decrypted message.
This all worked fine until a few days ago.

I think that this bug will likely get set to "low" urgency because that is the default for the kopete package -- however, that seems inappropriate for a bug that means that one can no longer receive encrypted IMs, since it means that users must either use unencrypted IMs or resort to using some other method to communicate securely.
