And if you are interested in how KMail decoded user IDs (before we completely switched to gpgme) have a look at lines 682-755 of https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kdepim.git&a=blob&h=59d0d50433455e45680d65deaffbccd3028f2169&hb=855053a0d5a07301e1627757abf8f8d56d9759eb&f=libkpgp%2FkpgpbaseG.cpp Interesting. The code appears to be GPL2+ licensed. I would have thought that it was LGPL2+. Regards, Ingo
