Yeah, let us hope that they readd it again.

I think KMail triggers it when you set up an account with the accountwizard 
but I don't think it handles updating an already published key in WKS.

I am hoping to have an action for that in Kleopatra that would open just the 
default Mail client with a WKS Mail when you trigger the action in Kleopatra.

Our Outlook plugin GpgOL also handles WKS, if you send an encrypted mail with 
a WKS enabled account and it does not find your key in WKS it will ask you to 
publish it. But as mentioned the Kleopatra feature would be helpful for that.
