Thanks Tobias,
I checked out of KDE, and logged back in, started Kontact again - now it
worked. Upon opening the mail i was asked for a passphrase with which kontact
decrypted the mail.
Strange, because I had done several reboots before.
Pinentry-qt seems to be installed:
# dpkg -l | grep pinentry
ii pinentry-qt 0.7.2-3 ....
I'll keep you up to date if it works. :-)
