kmail doesn t sign/encrypt e-mails, broken pipe

[John R. Shannon]

Hi,

I ported the project aegypten software over to NetBSD. One of the biggest 
problems I had was with Kmail communication with gpg-agent.

The following helped me track down my problems:
1. kill any running gpg-agents and kmail
2. In a shell windows start gpg-agent:

    eval `gpg-agent --daemon`
   
3.  start kmail in the same window so it sees the GPG_AGENT_INFO shell 
variable

4. Try sending yourself a message.
