There are hidden recipients, yes. That might explain the issue… 

Sorry for being so slow to answer - and thank you for persisting!

A possibility to improve this might be to first try the key for the email
address with which I received the email.

I cannot currently test this with a kmail based on kde5, because akonadi
currently does not work at all for me (fails to start and the error logs says
that all old accounts are missing).
