Because the key is not valid, i.e. the key owner identity hasn't been 
certified with a trusted key. If you want to encrypt to this key you 
should check the identity of the key owner and only then sign the key 
with your secret key. If you don't want to or can't check the identity 
of the key owner but nevertheless want to encrypt the message then 
please sign the key locally with gpg --lsign <keyID>.

Daniel, this might become a FAQ so it would probably be a good idea to 
put it into the FAQ section in KMail's docu.

Regards,
Ingo
