Ooops I forgot I was meaning to say..

I noticed there is a KMail RFC 2015 support package linked 
to from kmail.kde.org

http://www.david-guembel.de/kmail-gpg.html

Of course 'native' KMail support would be preferable.

BTW in the long run we should think about:

* Assisting and encouraging users to create an encryption 
key pair and uploading the public key to a keyserver.

* Work on some kind of protocol for automatically 
negotiating the transfer of public keys.

And in the longer term:

* Default to signing all outgoing messages (reduce the risk 
of mail forgery).

* Default to encrypting all outgoing messages that are 
being sent to a recipient whose public key the user has.  
(maximize the amount of internet traffic between 
individuals that is encrypted).

* Have the UI draw attention to (ie mark/highlight) mails 
that are either unsigned or unencrypted (rather than 
vice-versa which is the status quo). 

Don.
