thanks, this slipped through my attention, I will try it

well, in thunderbird no links open in a browser and the available plugin
which supposed to do that does not work either ... so for me thunderbird
is useless

I was using seamonkey, I liked it, but after upgrading it also does not
work anymore together with kmail after kde-4.8

so actually no usable email client with pgp integration on freebsd/kde
desktop ... back to the pens and fax :)
