The lastest and greatest improvements from Ägypten2 are
in later versions. However I do not see why it should not working..

First: Are you trying to use OpenPGP or S/MIME?
Secondly: Try to do all operations on the command line first
too seperate if KMail is your problem or the crypto setup itself.

	gpg -e -r buddy at home.where x >x.enc

or
	# X509
	gpgsm -e -r  buddy at home.where x >x.enc
