--- Comment #8 from Enrico Tagliavini <enrico.tagliavini at gmail.com> ---
I think I nailed it down. Kmail seems to silently fail if the gpg-agent is not
running. I tried on Fedora 20 with KDE 4.13.? (2 maybe?) and it worked out of
the box. I did a comparison between fedora and gentoo and I found the gpg-agent
was running on fedora and not on gentoo. So I started the gpg-agent from
/etc/kde/startup (this is the folder name for gentoo, it is named env in
fedora), logged out and back in. It worked.

I have to say there has been also an update of gnupg from version 2.0.22 to
version 2.0.25 between my last non working try and the working one..... so this
might be another point to keep in mind. The gpg-agent make more sense to me
though because kleopatra was actually complaining there was no gpg-agent
running.

Even if kleopatra actually complains, it is very confusing to see no
certificate listed in kmail with no error reported. I think kmail should
complain about missing gpg-agent like kleopatra does, when opening the dialog
to select the S/MIME certificate for signing.
