KMail works fine with either inline PGP (built-in) or with PGP/MIME or
S/MIME if you use the cryptplug plugins:
<http://packages.debian.org/unstable/libs/cryptplug>. If you install
that and point KMail at the plugins, you can verify PGP/MIME
signatures...
... of course, if you want to do signatures or decrypt stuff with
PGP/MIME, it's a little trickier than that to make it work, because you
also need gpg-agent and a pinentry program, which for some reason I
have never figured out, do not appear to be packaged at all by Debian.
In my case, I grabbed the woody packages from
<http://www.opensides.be/debian> and ported them to unstable.
Actually, now that I think of it, I think I will try to find out why
those haven't been packaged (I know both are GPL licensed)...
