           Summary: Have to sign to encrypt mails
           Product: kmail

        ReportedBy: NewsAssi Gmx net


Version:           1.9.5 (using KDE 3.5.5, Kubuntu (dapper) 4:3.5.5-0ubuntu1~dapper2)

It's not possible to encrypt mails without signing the keys.

Some people call such a behavoir a feature. But it pushs the people to sign keys \
without the possible to check them.

E.g. I've more then 80 keys, so I have to sign 50% of them, If want to communicate \
with my buddies, but I can't  actually check the keys, because I do not trust \
fingerprint, their mailed or jabbered...

After signing (locally) I can't see, which I checked and which I didn't checked.

And it is better to let the people choose. It is better for the spreading of \
encryption and free speak...

Almost software using gpg have an option to allow unsigned keys...

So I bet you, think about it and add such an option...

Thanks a lot
