Problems with KDE 3.1. KMail's OpenGPG and S/MIME warnings about some GPG messages

[Mark Hillary]

Hi,

The problem that you are having is that the built in gpg support in kmail does 
not understand PGP/Mime, which is how messages are signed using the new 
plugins from the aegypten project. This plug-in allows multipart messages to 
have every part signed and for attachments to be signed. (If you turn the 
Mime viewer on in kmail you will see the difference in different signing 
methods). 

These links will help.

The main problem with these plugins is the prerequisites. Maybe that warning 
should have a show only once message on it.
