    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".

    First make sure your gpg is properly set up:

    gpg --list-keys
    

    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.
