Description andre 2013-09-29 12:40:19 UTC
I'm using Fedora 19/Gnome3 with Claws-Mail 3.9.2. When I send an encrypted message to myself (did it for testing purposes), encrypt it, receive it and want to decrypt it claws-mail hangs. I have to kill it with kill -9 in order to terminate the process. There is no difference between PGP inline or PGP Mime.

If I disable 'Use gpg-agent to manage passwords' everything works fine.

sounds like your gpg-agent configuration is broken
Comment 2 andre 2013-09-29 18:33:24 UTC
And what makes you think it's broken? At least it works for e.g. with Thunderbird and never had problems before. So if you have an educated guess I'd be very interested in it if not just ignore my question. Thanks.

AFAIK Thunderbird does not use gpg-agent so because Thunderbird works does not imply your gpg-agent works.

What makes me think it's broken? Or rather, what makes me think that it could be broken?

1. You didn't say that you had verified that it worked elsewhere
2. Many users had problems setting up and configuring gpg-agent correctly
3. For those not in 2. above it works fine

So it could be that you've not set up gpg-agent correctly, or maybe you've not installed pinetry-gtk2 or pinentry-qt.

Thanks a lot for your hints. I will give them a try!
