I think it's the old problem of intermittant faults being difficult to pinpoint. As I said, I've done many, many installs and setups of kmail + gpg, yet never met this problem until F9, and I can't see any difference between the setup there and the setup on this laptop where it works, so it's not surprising that people haven't seen it. The only gpg ML I found was PGP-Basics at yahoogroups.com. I can't help feeling that there should be a better list than that. Maybe I hit bad timing. I'll try them again.
