Because you send is a PGP/MIME (RFC3156) message, which is the better
and preferred way, but your correspondent's mail user agent (mail
program) doesn't support PGP/MIME.

I dunno if KMail can do that. Look for a "old method" option or "plain
text" option or something like that.

Because by then the information over which charset the text was in is
lost. This is meta-information attached to the attachment, by saving
it you "loose" it.
