Can you encrypt files using GPG? You should test this first. Check also the trust-value of your key-pair. To do this type gpg --edit-key YOURKEY Now you can see/edit the trust-values. Kmail will not use your key, if the trust-values are not set correctly (e.g. -/- is not good :) > This info is probably a bit lacking, but what I am wondering is how > YOU have your GPG and KMail set up and integrated. > I'm using KMail 1.5.4 and gpgme 0.3.15 (using the > http://dev.gentoo.org/~stuart/packages/ gpgme ebuild).

The second one is to use the pgpmime crypto-plugin. This setup is a little bit more difficult, but it's not too hard. The advantage of the crypto plugin is that you can also sign/encrypt your attachements within kmail. That's an andvantage over signing/encrypt all attachements by hand. :) What exact is the failure you get? And wich method have you tried? When you give some information I'm shure that I can help you. cu lukas -- ** PGP-key available on keyserver pgp.mit.edu ** Please don't sign your public mail unless your PGP-key is available for everyone!
