When people sign their emails with their PGP key (unknown to me) their message

Problem: OpenPGP plug-in was not specified.
Use the 'Settings->Configure KMail->Security' dialog to specify the plug-in or
ask your system administrator to do that for you.

My question, what is this plugin being referred to?  An OpenPGP plugin for
kmail?  I know one way I could eliminate such messages would be to search out
the public key of the people signing their messages and keep it in my
keyring, but I kinda hope that there IS a plugin that might do this for me
(?).

There is one called "�gypten" (which I found at http://kmail.kde.org/kmail-pgpmime-howto.html), but I could not get it to compile and work under Mdk 9.2.

I switched to Thunderbird with Enigmail and it seems to work great.
