Kmail, kgpg, pinentry-qt and localization issues

Someone uses Kmail with KGPG and receives mail in another language than English?

I'm having a little issue with pinentry, its quite ugly as its using GTK or some other toolkit instead of QT, and its also not displaying correctly some of the (Spanish) special characters.

Also some mails that include special characters in the subject are showed as "blocks"

Here are a couple of screenshots displaying the problem:

1) pinentry

My name should read:
Leonardo Andrés Gallego

2) special characters in subjects

And the subject should read:
Notificación ....

Its really weird, as the special characters in the body of the messages are working just fine. And not all the messages have this problem.

Re: Kmail, kgpg, pinentry-qt and localization issues

for pinentry-qt remove /usr/bin/pinentry (no panic, it's just a symbolic link to pinentry-gtk), and make a new symbolic link to pinentry-qt (ln -s pinentry-qt pinentry)

can't help you with the other problem though
