much luck to you.
i do wish i cold be of more help, but i never got deep into kmail, other
than a few weeks of using back when we first meet, [and that has been a
while] so i do not recall much about it. plus, i did not use pgp then, so i
am not aware of it's operation or tie-in of kmail and keyring.
sometimes it is best to let things rest, especially the brain, when it has
been under a long strain.
pleasant dreams.
Having started from a new, empty keyring, to remove any possibility of
contamination, I now seem to have everything working. I *think* that the
problem is that the stakes have been raised for encrypting mail. I always
used to mark the necessary keys 'Fully Trusted', which was sufficient. That
seemed to me, together with local-signing, to be the right level for someone I
have 'known' for a long time, but have not actually confirmed the identity, as
I have those whose keys I have signed. It seems that now you have to mark a
key as 'Ultimately Trusted' before you can encrypt with it.
This feels totally wrong to me, but there's nothing I can do about it.
