  Currently, KMail can do everything except decrypt PGP/MIME mails with
  gnupg 1.2 or 1.4. To decrpt mails in PGP/MIME format, the gnupg-agent
  program is needed. This program is distributed as part of gnupg-1.9,
  but that does not mean that the whole gnupg-1.9 is needed.

  See http://bugs.debian.org/280175 for details.
