           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
