Hello,

I have a problem to decrypt Mails which are encrypted with SMIME /
x.509.

I have: successfully set up OpenPGP to en- and decrypt and have
validated this with others.

Also I can sign and encrypt mails with my x.509 certificat from
CAcert.org. Others can decrypt the mails I have encrypted and signed.

BUT i can not decrypt mails which others have encrypted with x.509.
I always get the message: message decryption failed: unsupported
algorithm RC2. I have attatched the log from gpgsm.

I use gpgsm 1.9.22 which does not support RC2 due to patent issues,
and RC2 is outdated anyway. I have KMail 1.9.6 with kde 3.5.6 release
64.1 and a openSUSE 10.2.

Since one of the senders use Thunderbird 1.5.0.10 I come to the
impression that it is NOT that I receive RC2 (Thunderbird in this
version does not send RC2 but 3DES afaik).
On the other hand gpgsm throws the error only when the algorithm is
truely indentyvied:

Look at the error handling code:
              rc = gpg_error (GPG_ERR_UNSUPPORTED_ALGORITHM);
              log_error ("unsupported algorithm `%s'\n", algoid?
		algoid:"?");
              if (algoid && !strcmp (algoid, "1.2.840.113549.3.2"))
                log_info (_("(this is the RC2 algorithm)\n"));


How everI have also to look at my configuration and this is still a
miracle to me.

Is there some where step by step how to install / check
kmail/kleopatra and the gpgME setup? I have used guessing to set up
and this is never good. On the other hand I did not find a good
source of information.

It would be really great if someone could, please. Post a quick list
of what to check.

One of the questions is if I should use the dirmgr or gpg-agent? I
also commit that I have poor knowledge here and that I want to get
this improved, though I really did not find single place which
describes how the things link to gether.

Here is the data I am refering to:
