Hi,

That is a bit strange, because this hasn't been done with kmail, but just with 
the commandline. gpg. When I use for example kgpg, I receive the error "no 
user id found". What happens when a person sends an encrypted mail from 
another emailaddress than the one in the key ? For example somone changes 
from email address ? Is it possible to add another id to an imported public 
key ? (For example a second emailaddres as trusted) ?

Greetz,
Johan
