-For all
you kmail users who are having trouble getting gpg/pgp
to work:
+;: To set things up so
you can sign and decrypt messages, you have
to enter your GnuPG user ID in the ''Identity'' section of the [KMail] configuration. When you send a new message, the message will not be signed or encrypted by default. You have to check the __[[Sign message]__ and __[[Encrypt message]__ buttons in the tool bar.

a mighty useful [gpg related page|http://webber

+These icons are the ones to the right of the default toolbar, showing
a pen signing and a lock respectively
. Keep in mind that you don't actually need to encrypt everything
. Merely signing will often suffice unless you are paranoid or there's actually something you need to hide
.
