There's a discussion going on in debian-security on this. Suffice to
say, some mailers use deprecated/obsolete mime tags, and some use the
newer/correct PGP/MIME. I believe yours (kmail) is one of the former
so you're going to have trouble with mine, and I have trouble with yours.

A nice trick pointed out to me last night:
wget -O- http://www.debian.org/security/keys.txt | gpg --import
Alternatively, this works too:
gpg --recv-keys BLAAAAAAAH
Where BLAAAAAAH is the key you want imported.
