When creating a new account in kmail, on the "Secure your Communication" page of the wizard, it not only defaults to "Secure outgoing emails, if possible," but it outright creates a PGP key and adds it to my wallet. It's one thing for it to want to do gpg by default (which I disagree with), but it's another thing entirely to create a key without even asking me first. This means that when I add an account, I have go and delete unwanted PGP keys from my wallet. From what I can tell after some experimenting, kmail only creates the key if gpg-agent is running. I guess that kmail assumes that I want to use gpg for e-mail just because I have gpg-agent running, but regardless, I really don't think that it's appropriate for kmail to be creating PGP keys without even asking first. Even if I did want to use gpg with kmail right now, I wouldn't want it to create keys without asking first.
