On some messages I get the following displayed just after the header: /Message was signed with unknown key 0x<some hex numbers> The validity of the signature cannot be verified. Status: No public key to verify the signature/ Does this indicate that I have not configured KMail correctly? Where is the public key mentioned in the message. -- "Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it." -- George Orwell as Syme in "1984"
No, that means the public key needed to verify the signature of the message is not on your system. Use kgpg (for instance) to manage your keys. You can find public keys on keyservers (see kgpg). It is not a kmail error. Cheers, Robert. Quoting Albert <alwagner@tcac.net>:
