You can use kmail and gpg to send encrypted or digitally signed mail. To do this, there are the buttons "sign" and "encrypt" in the kmail compose window. It appears if you click on "File|New|New message".
TroubleShooting
Whatever problems arise, first make sure your gpg is properly set up:
gpg --list-keys
Has to deliver something like
/root/.gnupg/pubring.gpg ------------------------ pub 1024R/307E3D54 2006-03-21 [expires: 2010-05-05] uid SuSE Package Signing Key <[email protected]> pub 1024D/9C800ACA 2000-10-19 [expires: 2010-05-05] uid SuSE Package Signing Key <[email protected]>
and much more lines.
Check that
gpg --update-trustdb
does not deliver
gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found
If you have a keyring saved to your disk, reload ("import") it like this:
cat secring.skr | gpg --import
Then call kgpg and set your trust on this key to ultimate.
