I thought the report was clear enough already actually. Anyway:

Steps to reproduce:
1) Open Evolution and enable PGP signing for outgoing mail (Edit -> 
Preferences, click 'Mail Accounts' button, click,'Security' tab and then check 
the button to PGP sign mail and enter a key ID)
2) Compose a new mail and attempt to sign (New mail -> Type mail then click 
send)


What happens:
When I click send, evolution pops up an error dialog saying:
'Could not create message.

Because "Failed to unlock secret key: 3 bad passphrases given.", you may
need to select different mail options.'

Evolution then makes no attempt to send the message, even after I have
closed the error dialog. The only way to send is to uncheck the 'PGP
sign' option (sorry, I can't remember which menu that is under as I'm at
work at the moment)


What do I expect to happen:
Evolution should open a dialog prompting for the passphrase to unlock the key 
which I specified in the mail account settings. Upon entering the correct 
pass-phrase, Evolution signs and then sends the e-mail.


Note that if I remove the key ID from the mail account preferences, I expect 
Evolution to prompt me to specify a key when I attempt to send an e-mail. 
However, I get the same error dialog (3 bad passphrases given), even though I 
haven't specified a key to sign it with yet!

This is with Evolution 2.22.1.1-0ubuntu2 from hardy-proposed.
Downgrading to 2.22.1-0ubuntu3.1 from hardy-updates fixes the problem.
