This thread beguns with my problem singing my own mails (mails that I send)
using kmail. Now I can do it. Obviously, I trust in my own key, and the only
I had to do was set apropiate options in kmail profile setup.
By now, I don't sign/encrypt mails with other's keys, so I don't need to trust
them (nor sign them). This because I don't have other people's key who I need
to sen private mails (encrypted).
Anyway, thanks for all your interest and information. Now I know a little bit
more about this matter, and of course, I'll read GnuGpg docs.
