[kmail] doesn't display a signed message, where the key is unknown

[StefanPotyra]

Hi,

when I click on the attached mail, its text is neither shown in kmail, nor can I mark it as read. Is most probably related to the fact, that the mail is signed.

Sorry, but I dunno if that's a bug in kdepim itself, or anywhere below.

I can open the attached mail just fine using KMail 1.9.6 (KDE 3.5.6).

Can you open other signed messages?

Have you tried it using the most recent KMail version?

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

Just tried it with 3.5.6-0ubuntu6, doesn't work with the original mail in my ubuntu/edgy-changes folder. It works for me to open the attached mail via file->open though.

I've also tried to copy the mail straight to ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/somedirectory which will result in the mail being displayed correctly. *Strange*.

Side note: I can mark the original mail read/unread now :).

Stefan,

Is you issue similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdepim/+bug/59033 ?

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

Richard, not quite sure if this is a duplicate actually. For this particular mail nothing at all is displayed, while the screenshot in bug #59033 displays at least some lock symbol. Also I cannot reply to the mail or view the complete mail headers.

Btw.: currently my kmail version is 4:3.5.7-1ubuntu3.

Anyway I'm not quite sure if this is due to some leftover of the the old version of kmail whith which I received the mail in the first place or a bug that's still present in the current version (which I don't think, because I didn't stumble over any signed messages, which I cannot read since then).

Anyway, feel free to close/reject this bug is in case you think that we won't be able to track down what the real problem is.

Cheers,
     Stefan.

Interesting, I recently stumbled upon another mail which produces the same result. This time, I also launched kmail from shell and got this output:

kmail: WARNING: Error: Failure modifying /home/stefan/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/.ubuntu.directory/.changes.directory/.dapper-changes.index.sorted (No space left on device?)
kmail: WARNING: /build/buildd/kdepim-3.5.7/./kmail/kmheaders.cpp:3337

However:

ii kmail 4:3.5.7-1ubuntu5 KDE Email client

I also tried to strace kmail, but the results didn't show anything interesting (can't see any accesses to my mail directory in there, any hints how to get a sane strace?)

Cheers,
    Stefan.

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

still there with 4:3.5.7-1ubuntu7.

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

strace kmail --nofork 2>kmail.strace
bzip2 kmail.strace

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

setting back to new, still there in kmail 4:3.5.9-0ubuntu1 (just have another mail with this behaviour...)

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

hm... maybe this will give some clue:

kmail: WARNING: FolderStorage::getMsg, message has no sernum, index: 9727

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

And yes, though my home folder is now more populated, there is still space left:

[Rich Johnson (nixternal)]

Stefan, is this an IMAP setup at all? I have found 2 upstream reports that provide a similar error and both are dealing with IMAP. Thanks!

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

No, it was pop+local mbox, and is now only local mbox.

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

Aha. I could mark one of the two mails as read now (I have no clue why, but I noticed a lengthy run of a kio_mbox thread going on, even though that kmail was not launched; maybe that might be related?).

Side note: I haven't seen any *new* mails which show this behaviour since my comment from 2008-03-09.

[Rich Johnson (nixternal)]

Ya, I have been talking on IRC with some of the PIM devs trying to get a grasp on this one. I will ask about the kio_mbox threads going insane, as I have noticed this as well, however I keep Kontact/KMail open all of the time.

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

as of right now (4:4.1.2-0ubuntu1) the last mails, that I couldn't read/mark read display just fine for whatever reason.

I guess I can't be of much help any longer, and I also don't mind if you close that bug ;).
