You need to update your trust database (trustdb) to make sure the keys=20
you are using have a level of trust associated with them.

Enigmail, by default, sends a message through to GnuPG to "trust all=20
keys", which is a dangerous (if convenient) route to go down.

The best way would be to import your pubring.gpg and secring.gpg into=20
gpg itself, but you could use KGPG to help you.  Once the trust is=20
updated, KMail will work just fine.  If it doesn't work, email me of=20
list and I'll walk you through.
