I use KMail 1.3.1, so this should work:


Settings -> Configure Kmail -> Security -> PGP -> Encryption Tool:

   Select GPG


Settings -> Configure Kmail -> Identity:

   Set the "PGP User Identity" box to desired key-id for signing.
   You can use other values than the key-id (like the e-mail address),
   but make sure the following returns exactly one correct value:

     "gpg --list-keys [value-from-kmail-pgp-identity-box]"
  

Settings -> Composer -> General:

   If you wish to sign all outbound e-mail by default, select the
   box "Automatically sign messages using PGP".


GPG Configuration
=================
KMail can contact a keyserver to verify signatures from keys that
are not in your keyring.  To enable this, set the value "keyserver"
in $HOME/.gnupg/options to your desired keyserver.


Sending Mail (From the Composer window)
=======================================
If you wish to sign an e-mail, click on the sign icon on the top
toolbar.  To encrypt e-mail, click on the lock icon.  

In order to encrypt, you must already have the recipient's public
key in your keyring.  The current version of KMail/KDE does not
provide a GUI for adding public keys to your keyring, but I
believe people are working on this.

If you wish to send someone your public key, do the following
from your composer window:

   Attach -> Attach my public key
