Version: 1.9.5 (using KDE 3.5.5, Kubuntu (dapper) 4:3.5.5-0ubuntu1~dapper2) Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.15-26-386 It's not possible to encrypt mails without signing the keys. Some people call such a behavoir a feature. But it pushs the people to sign keys without the possible to check them. E.g. I've more then 80 keys, so I have to sign 50% of them, If want to communicate with my buddies, but I can't actually check the keys, because I do not trust fingerprint, their mailed or jabbered... After signing (locally) I can't see, which I checked and which I didn't checked. And it is better to let the people choose. It is better for the spreading of encryption and free speak... Almost software using gpg have an option to allow unsigned keys... So I bet you, think about it and add such an option... Thanks a lot
Retitling to reflect the wish a bit better, hopefully
Thanks for retitling!
In my opinion, encryption with kmail should behave the same way as 'pure' gpg does: ---snip--- gpg: XXXXXXXX: There is no assurance this key belongs to the named user pub 2048R/XXXXXXXX 2003-03-05 XYZ Primary key fingerprint: ABCD 1234 .... It is NOT certain that the key belongs to the person named in the user ID. If you *really* know what you are doing, you may answer the next question with yes. ---snip---
That would be a great way... So you try to remember the user to verify the key, but he can use it anyway
