kmail and digital signature

I don't know kmail well enough to disable this, but one way to make it
more effective and maybe quicker is to have it automatically retrieve
the keys to verify.

In ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf, you can put the lines

keyserver pgp.mit.edu
keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve

(Replace pgp.mit.edu with your favorite keyserver.  There are lists
online.)  Now kmail should automatically retrieve the keys; this
shouldn't take too long.  Or it may take longer; ymmv.  :)
