Bug 93436

I have this too. If you are trying to encrypt an email to someone, It insists on encrypting the copy of that mail kept in sent-mail, even if I disable the "always encrypt to self" option in the settings. If the identity you are sending from does not have a public key on your keyring, then it refuses to encrypt at all, giving the message:

You have requested that messages be encrypted to yourself, but the currently selected identity does not define an (OpenPGP or S/MIME) encryption key to use for this.
Please select the key(s) to use in the identity configuration.

This bug still occurs in Kmail 1.8.

|| If you restart KMail afterwards, does it work?

Not, it doesn't work. The same occurs.

Can someone encrypt mails using an entity without gpg keys?
I'd like to know if this bug occurs to all people or just to some of them.

This bug still occurs in Kmail 1.8.2, can someone encrypt mails using an entity without gpg keys? 

I can confirm this bug in many computers with the last version of Debian Sid.

I can confirm the bug and I already know why it happens. I'll see whether I can easily fix it.

Then Kmail will be nearly perfect!
Thanks a lot, really.

Kmail 1.9.6 in Kubuntu with KDe 3.5.6.
The bug still exists.

Kmail says me that the option "Encrypt always for yourself" is enabled, but in kmailrc there is:

  crypto-encrypt-to-self=false

I also confirm this.
It seems the "Undefined Encryption Key" popup (when clicking on "Encrypt Message") does not check the setting "crypto-encrypt-to-self" correctly (the checkbox in "Configure KMail / Security / Composing" seems to get toggled/displayed correctly).
