I agree.  Not allowing the user to do this automatically in kmail is asking 
for trouble.  Most users are going to sign locally, giving them a false sense 
of security.

I was going to try to add an option to the security preferences dialog (just 
did a cvsup now to do it) which said "allow encryption to un-verified keys".  
Do you think a pop-up would be better?
