I meant: (when the necessary plug-in is installed)

Well, I guess for most people this won't be a problem since the 
distributors will supply the necessary plug-in.

Nobody told us that we had to track your bug tracker. If you think there 
are bugs in KMail which are not in your code then please forward those 
bug report to this mailing list. Even better would be to submit real 
bug reports via submit@bugs.kde.org. The first three lines of those 
messages should read:
Package: kmail
Version: cvs
Severity: normal

The message must not contain any attachments which also means it must 
not be signed.

Exactly. I would prefer "great". But "great" doesn't sound very 
professional IMO.

No. But people are constantly submitting feature wishes for this. And 
they might argue that "full support" should include key management.

Let's wait for the next comparison of Unix email clients in c't or iX. 
;-)

"Excellent". That's it. KMail has excellent OpenPGP support.
