I've just upgraded to KDE 3.3.1 and KMail 1.7.1.

Okay, where we go:

Is this the box for entering the password? Yes, it came up the first 
time and cached the password correctly for further tries.

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

Crap, see for yourself:

% gpg -e -r someone at somewhere.tld hosts
Secure memory is not locked into core
gpg: NOTE: THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT VERSION!
gpg: It is only intended for test purposes and should NOT be
gpg: used in a production environment or with production keys!
gpg: someone at somewhere.tld: skipped: Unusable public key
gpg: /etc/hosts: encryption failed: Unusable public key

What does that 'Unusable public key' mean in this case?

Thanks for your great support!
