if my recipients want to get emails encrypted to them by OpenPGP/MIME.

Many recipients that want to receive encrypted emails, publish their public
OpenPGP
via the web key directory standard (WKD). KMail shall check if they did.
The can be enabled by the identity option: Automatically encrypt messages when
possible"

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  on a fresh account start kmail with vanilla settings, add an email account.
be online.
2. open an new email
3. enter an email address for someone that has their OpenPGP pubkey published
via WKD (e.g. mine at bernhard.reiter at intevation.de)

Variant for 1: use an old account with a newer kmail. Expectation: KMail asks
the user once that it enables the option during migration.

Encryption is not enabled, it is not shown that this recipient offers to send
them encrypted email.
