You are noth right and wrong:

Yes, there is nothing insecure in terms that such messages cannot harm
     your computer equipment (most likely).

No, these messages _are_ insecure since they can make you err: they can
    pretend to be signed by somebody else and they can pretend that this
    signature was sucessfully verified by your KMail.

Please see my other message in this thread, I *must* get some slpee
now, otherwise I fall from my chair.  :-D
