pkg kde talk - Jan 2005 - Request for PGP/MIME support w/o gpg-agent

Hello,

On #debian-qt-kde the idea of adding our voice to those requesting full 
support for OpenPGP/MIME in KMail without gpg-agent was raised. I''ve 
written a basic draft of what such a post to KDE Bug #92619 might look 
like. For more background, see 
http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2005/01/msg00152.html.

---
Debian is another distribution that will not be shipping GnuPG 1.9.x in 
our upcoming release, and as such does not have gpg-agent available. Our 
users thus lack full PGP support in KMail, without resorting to 3rd-party 
packages.

For this reason, we would welcome a patch, usable with the 3.3 branch as 
well as HEAD, and ideally official but unofficial if necessary, that 
would allow KMail to decrypt OpenPGP/MIME messages even if gpg-agent is 
absent. Perhaps Gregorio Guidi''s patch can serve as a starting point.

It might be nice to post this using the official Debian/KDE account. It 
would look more impressive, anyway.

Comments?

Chris
