  Yes, this is a known defect in KMail. I and other KDE Debian
  maintainers agree that the user should be able to force the use of a
  key.

  See http://bugs.kde.org/44699 for details (reported in 2002, go
  figure). All I can recommend is that you put some votes in the
  upstream bug report.

  For the moment, you'll have to --lsign the keys you need to use.

  Thanks,
