I am, in some kind, happy to here this. But what could be the reason that 
the manual imported certificate works fine, as longs as no other signed 
mail was recieved? 
Can you, or the other experts (sorry don't want to be rude when I address 
this to Werner) difintely exclude that KMail/gpgsm is the source of the 
problem that Thunderbird sends RC2 encrypted mails back?
