+3. Known Bugs
+=============
 
+  * Kleopatra is still under development: Some functionalities for
+    OpenPGP are still missing. You can use GPA for the missing
+    functionality.
 
+- Using smart card with Kleopatra...
+
+   * ... and OpenPGP card:
+     Use the gpg command line tool to create a new OpenPGP certificate
+     on your card.
+     Run "gpg --card-edit".
+     Switch to admin modus by enter: "admin".
+     Run "generate" to create a new certificate.
+     After finishing the process your new certificate is shown in
+     Kleopatra with a smart card icon.
+
+   * ... and Telesec Netkey 3 card:
+     Use the gpgsm command line tool to initializing your card.
+     Insert your card.
+     Run "gpgsm --learn-card".
+     After this the certificates from your card are shown in
+     Kleopatra with a smart card icon.
+
+   A good (graphical) alternative for setting up your smart
+   card and changing PIN is GPA.
+
+- Using the Outlook Plugin "GpgOL":
+
+  * You defintely should create copies of your old
+    encrypted/signed emails, e.g. in the form of PST files.
+
+  * Encrypted E-Mails occuring un-encrypted on the email server:
+    It can happens that parts of encrypted emails are copied
+    to your email server (IMAP or MAPI) in un-encrypted/decrypted
+    form when creating or viewing them.
+    Affected is the content of the email view windows, thus usually
+    the so-called email body. Attachments are not affected.
+    Switching off the Outlook preview will lower
+    the probability of this to happen, but not eliminate the issue.
+    A solution is being worked on.
+
+  * Sending signed or encrypted maessages via an Exchange based
+    account doesn't work.
