I don't think this is a function of KMail, it's a setting in gpg.conf (keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve). I've never gotten Karthik's key manually and KMail happily tells me the signature on his previous email is valid but untrusted. However, Kory, gpg is either unable to find your key at the keyserver or the keyserver isn't playing nice as your email is displaying as signed with an unknown key. To answer the original question, yes and no. I usually sign when I mail to a mailing list (which is likely to get archived somewhere), when I'm sending to others who I know use gpg or pgp, and when I'm sending something that might be legal related whether or not the recipient uses gpg (a cover-your-ass move on my part). - -- Bryce T.
