Do you use the crypto plugins? If yes, then you should update to the 
latest versions of the required packages. You can find RPMs for SuSE 
8.2 of newer packages at http://kmail.ingo-kloecker.de/rpms.

Furthermore as SuSE user you should do the following which will properly 
start gpg-agent for you (Note to non-SuSE users: This advice is SuSE 
specific so it will most likely not work for you.):
1.) Copy /etc/skel/.xsession and /etc/skel/.xinitrc to your home 
directory (with 'cp /etc/skel/.xsession /etc/skel/.xinitrc ~').
2.) Edit ~/.xsession and change the line
     usegpg="no"
to
     usegpg="yes"

If signing still doesn't work after you've restarted KDE then try if 
using pinentry-gtk instead of pinentry-qt helps.


If you don't use the crypto plugins then you should nevertheless install 
gpg-1.2.4 which you can find at the above mentioned location.

Regards,
Ingo
